We would suggest that you start your wiki off by doing these few basic things: *Upload a logo. You can do this by uploading an image over [[:File:Wiki.png]]. (not available on some skins) *Design your [[Main Page]]. The main page is likely the first thing users will see. It should be attractive and catch the eye. *Start building content. All wikis need content to become the best they can be. If you need help with making a logo, skin or favicon, please see [[s:w:logocreation|ShoutWiki's Logo Creation Wiki]]. If you need any help with building your wiki, feel free to contact [[s:ShoutWiki Staff|ShoutWiki staff]] either via their talk pages or via [[Special:Contact]]. Alternatively, you can talk to us, or other users, via [[s:ShoutWiki Hub:IRC|IRC]]. Thank you again for using ShoutWiki.

He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Appearance == Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. == Personality == Tai works hard and plays hard. Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this.

'''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Personality == Tai works hard and plays hard. Like, really, really hard.

However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Life == (WIP) [[Category:Characters]] 1ef6517111c2b2f516f00a11bc6cf410aaee59e9 0 37 62 2018-04-23T22:08:07Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character|alias=Lord|gender=Female|age=32}}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Lord|gender=Female|age=32}} af05096fbc0cf3e1aef0a3b9fe1540ee0f58baef 64 62 2018-04-23T22:13:39Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Lord|gender=Female|age=32|job=God of Pride|family=Adam, Temperance}} b2daf8f62af55df274554c6e84a2ebfe37332b19 66 64 2018-04-23T22:16:39Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Lord|gender=Female|age=32|job=God of Pride|family=Adam, Temperance}} [[Category:Characters]] 458cdbb1dab95fa3cc3659e670cb2097221eecf3 69 66 2018-04-23T23:46:44Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Lord|names=Vicky|gender=Female|age=32|job=God of Pride|family=Adam, Temperance}} [[Category:Characters]] 3d18adf768dbde9e7d685ddeeeadb17c11f1643a 14 38 67 2018-04-23T22:19:00Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "The category for all character related pages" wikitext text/x-wiki The category for all character related pages 9814ff7022c5d18d0a7f5c4788ad204089209b28 0 39 70 2018-04-23T23:53:01Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character|alias=Future Seeker|names=Sarah Derrek|family=Sain Derrek, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle|}} [[Category:Characters]]" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Future Seeker|names=Sarah Derrek|family=Sain Derrek, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle|}} [[Category:Characters]] c69255843c09c05ebbe96145946f4c282b3baa0a 0 40 71 2018-04-24T00:09:11Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character|alias=Swagalicious|names=Swag|job=God of Lust|family=Sarah Argyle, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle}}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Swagalicious|names=Swag|job=God of Lust|family=Sarah Argyle, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle}} 5811dd8ebdabdb6530ae433cc2aafc088be47834 73 71 2018-04-24T00:13:49Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Swagalicious|names=Swag|job=God of Lust|family=Sarah Argyle, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle}} [[Category:Characters]] 96ba804aa749ac6938800073a3712aa1c1437a00 0 41 72 2018-04-24T00:12:03Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character|alias=Ansuz|names=Natasha Trinity Child|family=Mackenzie Cloud}}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Ansuz|names=Natasha Trinity Child|family=Mackenzie Cloud}} 640d5de96d9cc53527400565175f4e2494e7f909 74 72 2018-04-24T00:14:09Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character|alias=Ansuz|names=Natasha Trinity Child|family=Mackenzie Cloud}} [[Category:Characters]] 3f098f1181b368f5ce27e7dc04f04074d3313ecb 10 35 86 85 2018-04-24T12:29:17Z IntSys 30496462 Undo revision 78 by [[Special:Contributions/IntSys|IntSys]] ([[User talk:IntSys|talk]]) wikitext text/x-wiki {| style="border: 1px solid #aaa; border-spacing: 0; float: right; margin: 0 0 .5em 1em; width: 300px;" | style="background-color: {{{bgcolor|Azure}}}; text-align: center;" | <p style="font-size: larger;">'''{{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}'''</p> |- | style="text-align: center;" | <u>'''Personal information'''</u> {| style="text-align: right;" {{#if:{{{alias|}}}| {{!}}- !

He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Appearance == Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. == Mech Stats == '''Speed: 6''' - Tai's mech has powerful thruster rockets to give him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. '''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Personality == Tai works hard and plays hard. Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Life == (WIP) [[Category:Characters]] b59824799aa0e6145fc545d5cc30bde8fdf18107 92 90 2018-04-24T12:33:17Z IntSys 30496462 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Tai | age = 21 | gender = Male | alias = Supernova | names = | sin = Gluttony | job = Mech Pilot | family = Unknown }} '''Tai''' is a professional mech pilot and one of the top 8 finalists in the contest to decide who to fight the Tenth God. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin.

He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech == === Appearance === Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === '''Speed: 6''' - Tai's mech has powerful thruster rockets to give him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. '''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == (WIP) [[Category:Characters]] fba2819350473e256c711f4c61140518d3b26775 97 96 2018-04-24T14:42:51Z IntSys 30496462 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Tai | age = 21 | gender = Male | alias = Supernova | names = | sin = Gluttony | job = Mech Pilot | family = Unknown }} '''Tai''' is a professional mech pilot and one of the top 8 finalists in the contest to decide who to fight the Tenth God. == Personality == Tai works hard and plays hard.

As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. == Relationships == [[Category:Characters]] af0926be5f5a1f3140d37763833b64af8fafbf34 10 42 99 2018-04-24T15:05:59Z IntSys 30496462 Template for spoiler boxes.

She is known for being emotional and impulsive, and she tends to act without thinking things through. Due to her rash behavior and hands-free approach to godhood, her relationship with the other gods has been known to be strenuous at best. Much of her character and actions are driven by the fact that she was born completely blind. Appears in [[The Tenth God]], [[The First Witch]], and [[The Dishonesty of Human Eyes]] ==Personality== Having been kept down throughout her life due to the circumstances of her birth, Blink developed an extremely combative personality. She has a deep-seated need to prove herself, and refuses to give up on any challenge until she's conquered it. She's far from straight-laced, being perfectly willing to bend the rules wherever it suits her. Blink tends to be rather opinionated, and tied with her foul mouth this causes her to come off as standoffish more often than not. ==Appearance== Short and flat with an almost childish physique and androgynous facial features, at first glance one might think Blink is an adolescent boy. She has medium skin with dark red freckles, especially prevalent on her cheeks and forearms. Her small round eyes are a soft caramel brown. And her dirty blonde hair is short and unkempt, adding heavily to her tomboyish appearance. When not dressed for combat, she wears a golden ball gown that contrasts heavily with the rest of her appearance, though she makes up for it by remaining barefoot. Often she can be seen pretending to play on an antique game system, though she never even bothers to turn it on. ==Mech Design== ==Life== ==Role== ==Relationships== ===Sarah Argyle=== Blink and Seeker are very close friends. Both have very harsh personalities and find it hard to open up to others, but the two have come to rely on one another for emotional support. Seeker seems to be the only one of the gods who truly understands Blink, and often stands alone in defending the Fifth God's actions. ===Tobias Hartford=== While most of the other gods dislike Blink, she has an understanding of sorts with Bear, who often comes to her defense politically. The two often cooperate economically as well as working together to help deal with rogue science groups from time to time.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this later proved to be in vain. She appears in [[The Tenth God]]. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke.

It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) Its special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated Ricochet, Silent Requiem, LOLI_HUNTER, and Supernova through the course of the tournament. The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the Tenth God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the Tenth God, with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. ==Relationships== [[Category:Characters]] ab1c6542e913ea8577a853e340d988fb6109042d 0 37 109 69 2018-07-03T18:50:43Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character |alias=Lord |names=Vicky, The First God |gender=Female |age=32 |job=God of Pride |family=Adam, Temperance}} '''Victoria McKay''' was the indomitable God of Pride who became the first god by crushing all who challenged her at a very young age. She was considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the series, and [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]] has suggested that she is destined to surpass him in strength. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] and [[The Pride of Sheep]]. ==Personality== Lord is known for her unrelenting confidence, she refuses to accept defeat under any circumstances. She has a gentle heart, and hates the suffering of others, growing her own strength to protect those who are weaker. She has been shown to be stubborn and set in her ways at times, refusing to accept that others might hold better solutions than her. Unfortunately, it is often the case that her only solution is a direct confrontation, which works well on the battlefield but leads her to tension in personal interactions. ==Appearance== A woman of average height with pale skin. Lord has shoulder-length blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her nose is sharp and she has full, red lips that are often set in a confident smirk. She usually wears a long purple dress and heels. ==Mech== ===Appearance=== A pair of purple metal gauntlets and accompanying metal boots and greaves, neon blue energy glows from within the joints. The back of the gauntlets and the soles of her boots have rockets in them. When it mech form Lord wears a skintight purple and black suit which covers her entire body below the neck, as well as pulling her hair back in a ponytail. ===Stats=== '''Speed: 2''' - Generally Lord can only move at a normal walk or run, but she can activate the rockets into her gauntlets and boots for short bursts of speed that allow her to gapclose or dodge attacks. '''Melee: 8''' - Lord's punches and kicks strike with overwhelming force, launching all but the heaviest of opponents across the arena with one hit. '''Firepower: 5''' - Lord's gauntlets have heat cannons in the palms that can be used to melt through enemy armor or projectiles. A close range attack from these can permanently disable a joint or distort a gun barrel. '''Armor: 0''' - Lord's Ability removes the need for any sort of defenses. '''Signature Attack: Heartsurge''' - Lord unleashes a massive burst of energy that completely disables the enemy mech for 4 seconds. The condition for this attack is, "I can no longer feel the pain." '''Special Ability: Pain Capcitor''' - Lord never takes damage directly, instead feeling the full pain of any attack dealt to her. The only way to defeat her without her forfeiting is to force her to pass out. However, just before she passes out, her nerves shut down and she can perform her signature attack. ===Life=== ===Role=== ==TPoS== ==TTG== ===Relationships=== ==Adam== ==Temperance== [[Category:Characters]] 1fc9944fc1d210af7fc136bbcf160e76bfb2f690 0 46 110 2018-07-03T19:25:01Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "'''The Tenth God''' was the original roleplay that started the series.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Mech System== The core of TTG and a key reason that it performed so well, the mech system was a simple guided freeform system that tried to give players lots of room to customize while still providing some semblance of balance. ===Fluff=== Mechs are combat suits made of [[Favor]] that combatants across Tempest use to fight one another for sport. Using innate protective fields, they protect the user from harm and most pain until they are destroyed. A mech may be summoned at any time directly around the mech user, but will require time out-of-use to repair after taking damage. When not in use, a mech is stored in a character's [[Internal Dimension|dream space]]. Mech combat usually pits two mech users against one another in a gladiatorial match, with the winner being decided when one combatant is knocked out, their mech is destroyed, or they forfeit. ===Mechanics=== Mechanically, players were given 17 points to spread among four stats: Speed, Melee, Firepower, and Armor. As well as the option to spend two points to acquire a Signature Attack and a completely free Special Ability. Placing 6 points into any one stat would give a special action that could be used in combat. ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== ===Chapter 2: Lust=== ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== In Progress ===Chapter 6: Envy=== TBA ===Chapter 7: Pride=== TBA ===Finale: Nil=== TBA [[Category:Roleplays]] 6c29a67a96c6d1f02f7e75a54961e620e316771c 0 47 111 2018-07-04T15:51:01Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "'''Tempest''' is a world composed of seven infinite planes: [[Plane of Pride|Pride]], [[Plane of Greed|Greed]], [[Plane of Envy|Envy]], [[Plane of Lust|Lust]], Plane of Glut..." wikitext text/x-wiki '''Tempest''' is a world composed of seven infinite planes: [[Plane of Pride|Pride]], [[Plane of Greed|Greed]], [[Plane of Envy|Envy]], [[Plane of Lust|Lust]], [[Plane of Gluttony|Gluttony]], [[Plane of Wrath|Wrath]], and [[Plane of Sloth|Sloth]].

He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 9th god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway. This conversation would prove to stir up long buried emotions regarding his sister's disappearance, and reawaken the same single-minded fixation, guilt, and frustration Solomon felt years prior after being powerless to stop Tesla from leaving. These emotions slowly but surely began to wear down the cocky, self-assured facade Solomon had built up since that day, and left him significantly unbalanced and distracted during his subsequent battles in the tournament. Even in this compromised state however, he still managed to severely damage and nearly defeat Silent Requiem and Giant, attesting to his genuine skill as a warrior. Shortly before the fourth round of Matches in greed, Solomon was approached by the 1st god Lord and was recruited to help get information out the mysterious being known as Arcturus. The gods had sought out Solomon's help in this matter specifically because of Asmodeus, Solomon's AI servant.

Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Mech System== The core of TTG and a key reason that it performed so well, the mech system was a simple guided freeform system that tried to give players lots of room to customize while still providing some semblance of balance. ===Fluff=== Mechs are combat suits made of [[Favor]] that combatants across Tempest use to fight one another for sport. Using innate protective fields, they protect the user from harm and most pain until they are destroyed. A mech may be summoned at any time directly around the mech user, but will require time out-of-use to repair after taking damage. When not in use, a mech is stored in a character's [[Internal Dimension|dream space]]. Mech combat usually pits two mech users against one another in a gladiatorial match, with the winner being decided when one combatant is knocked out, their mech is destroyed, or they forfeit. ===Mechanics=== Mechanically, players were given 17 points to spread among four stats: Speed, Melee, Firepower, and Armor. As well as the option to spend two points to acquire a Signature Attack and a completely free Special Ability. Placing 6 points into any one stat would give a special action that could be used in combat. ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== ===Chapter 2: Lust=== ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== Current ===Finale: Nil=== Current [[Category:Roleplays]] 493ebda286a627847115dc8a608ca69753de6475 0 57 145 2019-10-19T01:52:16Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character |alias=Watcher |names=Prince of Light, Lucifer, Illuminatus, The One Who Watches, Master of the Spark, Manfred Corringer, Devourer of Light, Devourer of Ho..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character |alias=Watcher |names=Prince of Light, Lucifer, Illuminatus, The One Who Watches, Master of the Spark, Manfred Corringer, Devourer of Light, Devourer of Holiness, Devourer of Warmth, Shiny Bastard, Star Eater, Harbinger of the Red One |age=Unknown |gender=Male |job=Supervillain}} '''Watcher''' was one of the most powerful beings in all of Tempest.

She entered the competition under the alias of "Strider" and initially held the 8th seat in the tourney. == Personality == Morgan was, for the most part, both a kind and shy girl. She'd try her best to help others in almost any way, shape, or form, though obtaining this help usually required one to take the initiative in asking for it. Despite her generally good nature, she had a strong competitive streak stemming from her intense jealousy, and hated to lose. She also had a short temper when dealing with inflated egos and showoffs. == Appearance == Morgan had a light tanned complexion with a slim and somewhat athletic build. She stood at 5'8, with shoulder length jet black hair and yellow eyes. She wore a set of round glasses due to her poor eyesight. Her outfit usually consisted of a simple red shirt with a tan jacket covering it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. However, this could slightly change to fit in with the crowd better. == Mech == Morgan's mech was a SFD Build which relied on it's special ability and signature to win in most fights throughout the tourney. It's ability, the Energy Absorption Shield, lowered her mobility and offense when activated, but boosted her armor significantly and absorbed a portion of the damage from enemy attacks, storing it as power for Strider to use to either boost certain stats, or power her signature attack, Revenge Blast. While this set up was powerful, it also became somewhat of a predictable crutch for Morgan the more the tourney progressed, and she was ultimately beaten at her own strategy by the 7th god, Queen. == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 2ba31e80e81586abee8706ef6344bbcd0af48fdb 180 151 2019-10-26T16:16:24Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Morgan Belle | age = 17(TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Strider | names = | sin = Envy | job = Mech Fighter | family = Katrina Belle (Sister) }} '''Morgan Belle''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

She entered the competition under the alias of "Slumbering Giant" and initially held the 2nd seat in the tourney. == Personality == Mommo was highly intelligent, cunning and motivated while awake. Unfortunately however, she seldom was, as she preferred to spend her days doing as little as possible. Her laziness was so pervasive that she only tended to her bodily needs when absolutely necessary, and even when she wasn't busy sleeping she would often just lie still loathing about. She even built her mech in such a way to minimize her necessary motions in battle. The only times she ever actively did something was if doing so would allow her to laze about even more afterwards. She could be notably cold and pragmatic in these rare cases, likely stemming from her crankiness after being forced to wake up and act. == Appearance == Mommo was a petite woman barely standing at 4'9" and weighing in at 37 Kg. She had dark hair done up in a bob-cut hair, and her petite stature combined round, child-like cheeks made it hard to determine her true age. Her silver eyes were perpetually half-shut due to her drowsy nature. They shined with a surprising intellect and lucidity however, belying Mommo's true nature. She usually dressed in a simple, black dress and unfitting sock-slippers. She carried a unsettling teddy-bear pillow with herself wherever she went. == Mech == Mommo's mech was an extremely heavy FAO build which was best described as a (barely) mobile artillery station. It used it's signature, Earthquake, to slam into the ground with its full weight and destabilize the arena's terrain and impede the mobility of speed based mechs. This signature's trigger relied on Mommo's opponent dodging her cluster grenades a certain number of times, which made it extremely easy for her to trigger when needed as most speed mechs would have little trouble doing so. Her special ability, Drop Armor, allowed Mommo to change her build from a FAO to a SFO by dropping her armor once it became heavily damaged. This raised her speed significantly, but also left her incredibly vulnerable and disabled her signature. == Life == Little is known of Mommo's life before the Tourney. She probably spent most of it sleeping though. == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 0e6b52ed3c40c96806143c50a58f23360092228f 181 152 2019-10-26T16:16:56Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Mommo Mikuri | age = 20 | gender = Female | alias = Slumbering Giant | names = | sin = Sloth | job = Mech Fighter | family = Unknown }} '''Mommo Mikuri''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

It is an extremely hot and dry plane, with a terrain made up mostly of ash, rock, and pools of lava scattered about the surface. Ash constantly fills the air here, and a miniature sun hangs permanently fixed over the horizon no matter where one goes, bathing the plane in unrelenting heat and solar radiation. The harsh conditions of Wrath render it an uninhabitable place outside of the range of Anchors, which were specially designed to mitigate the heat. The architecture of this plane consists of little more than Ash Brick buildings with cloth curtains. Aries is the presiding god over Wrath.

It is an extremely hot and dry plane, with a terrain made up mostly of ash, rock, and pools of lava scattered about the surface. Ash constantly fills the air here, and a miniature sun hangs permanently fixed over the horizon no matter where one goes, bathing the plane in unrelenting heat and solar radiation. The harsh conditions of Wrath render it an uninhabitable place outside of the range of Anchors, which were specially designed to mitigate the heat. The architecture of this plane consists of little more than Ash Brick buildings with cloth curtains. Aries is the presiding god over Wrath.

The Planes are a harsh place and the people of Tempest often struggle to simply live out their daily lives. Strange, ancient technologies such as [[anchors]] and [[transporters]] help with this, and they serve as the basis for Tempestuous societies. It is known that humanity did not originate from Tempest, and many relics of the past can be found across the land from the [[Sphere]], humanity's original home. Tempest is the setting for all [[:Category:Roleplays|roleplays]] and [[:Category:Stories|short stories]] in the TTG series. ==Navigation== Tempest's planes are infinite in a very strange way. Upon traveling to where you cannot see your starting point, it becomes impossible to return. Things go out of sight at around one kilometer out, making it very dangerous to live away from and anchor, a device that stabilizes the Plane in a larger area. Certain people, known as [[Void Walkers]], are capable of traversing the Planes freely, returning to where they began without the assistance of anchors.

Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin. He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Design == === Appearance === Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === '''Speed: 6''' - Tai's mech has powerful thruster rockets to give him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. '''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. == Relationships == [[Category:Characters]] 1912a21abb247f9b898f79cec5dffef8af3193af 0 43 183 100 2019-10-26T16:19:34Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character |alias=Blink |names=The Fifth God |age=33 |gender=Female |job=God of Envy}} '''Amelia''', better known by her alias, Blink, is the Fifth God of Tempest who rules over the Plane of Envy. She is known for being emotional and impulsive, and she tends to act without thinking things through. Due to her rash behavior and hands-free approach to godhood, her relationship with the other gods has been known to be strenuous at best. Much of her character and actions are driven by the fact that she was born completely blind. Appears in [[The Tenth God]], [[The First Witch]], and [[The Dishonesty of Human Eyes]] ==Personality== Having been kept down throughout her life due to the circumstances of her birth, Blink developed an extremely combative personality. She has a deep-seated need to prove herself, and refuses to give up on any challenge until she's conquered it. She's far from straight-laced, being perfectly willing to bend the rules wherever it suits her. Blink tends to be rather opinionated, and tied with her foul mouth this causes her to come off as standoffish more often than not. ==Appearance== Short and flat with an almost childish physique and androgynous facial features, at first glance one might think Blink is an adolescent boy. She has medium skin with dark red freckles, especially prevalent on her cheeks and forearms. Her small round eyes are a soft caramel brown. And her dirty blonde hair is short and unkempt, adding heavily to her tomboyish appearance. When not dressed for combat, she wears a golden ball gown that contrasts heavily with the rest of her appearance, though she makes up for it by remaining barefoot. Often she can be seen pretending to play on an antique game system, though she never even bothers to turn it on. ==Mech Design== ==Life== ==Role== ==Relationships== ===Sarah Argyle=== Blink and Seeker are very close friends. Both have very harsh personalities and find it hard to open up to others, but the two have come to rely on one another for emotional support. Seeker seems to be the only one of the gods who truly understands Blink, and often stands alone in defending the Fifth God's actions. ===Tobias Hartford=== While most of the other gods dislike Blink, she has an understanding of sorts with Bear, who often comes to her defense politically. The two often cooperate economically as well as working together to help deal with rogue science groups from time to time.

She was considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the series, and [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]] has suggested that she is destined to surpass him in strength. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] and [[The Pride of Sheep]]. ==Personality== Lord is known for her unrelenting confidence, she refuses to accept defeat under any circumstances. She has a gentle heart, and hates the suffering of others, growing her own strength to protect those who are weaker. She has been shown to be stubborn and set in her ways at times, refusing to accept that others might hold better solutions than her. Unfortunately, it is often the case that her only solution is a direct confrontation, which works well on the battlefield but leads her to tension in personal interactions. ==Appearance== A woman of average height with pale skin. Lord has shoulder-length blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her nose is sharp and she has full, red lips that are often set in a confident smirk. She usually wears a long purple dress and heels. ==Mech== ===Appearance=== A pair of purple metal gauntlets and accompanying metal boots and greaves, neon blue energy glows from within the joints. The back of the gauntlets and the soles of her boots have rockets in them. When it mech form Lord wears a skintight purple and black suit which covers her entire body below the neck, as well as pulling her hair back in a ponytail. ===Stats=== '''Speed: 2''' - Generally Lord can only move at a normal walk or run, but she can activate the rockets into her gauntlets and boots for short bursts of speed that allow her to gapclose or dodge attacks. '''Melee: 8''' - Lord's punches and kicks strike with overwhelming force, launching all but the heaviest of opponents across the arena with one hit. '''Firepower: 5''' - Lord's gauntlets have heat cannons in the palms that can be used to melt through enemy armor or projectiles. A close range attack from these can permanently disable a joint or distort a gun barrel. '''Armor: 0''' - Lord's Ability removes the need for any sort of defenses. '''Signature Attack: Heartsurge''' - Lord unleashes a massive burst of energy that completely disables the enemy mech for 4 seconds. The condition for this attack is, "I can no longer feel the pain." '''Special Ability: Pain Capcitor''' - Lord never takes damage directly, instead feeling the full pain of any attack dealt to her. The only way to defeat her without her forfeiting is to force her to pass out. However, just before she passes out, her nerves shut down and she can perform her signature attack. ===Life=== ===Role=== ==TPoS== ==TTG== ===Relationships=== ==Adam== ==Temperance== [[Category:Characters]] 6282fc48a975a835ea884fc5c535da68b86101a7 0 39 185 70 2019-10-26T16:22:58Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character|alias=Future Seeker|names=Sarah Derrek|family=Sain Derrek, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle|}} [[Category:Characters]] e18f0e8ad6265c49a17e931fa919e5179424f233 0 40 186 73 2019-10-26T16:23:19Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character|alias=Swagalicious|names=Swag|job=God of Lust|family=Sarah Argyle, Lain Argyle, Cameron Argyle}} [[Category:Characters]] 9cd55a8734ccad00baa1fee148594cea700db595 0 44 188 115 2019-10-26T16:24:02Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character |alias=Cardinal |names=The Tenth God, Prince of Nothing, Belial |age=22 |gender=Female |job=NEET, God of Nil}} '''Cardinal''' was a strange girl from [[Sphere|another world]] who somehow became the god of a nonexistent plane.

He entered the competition under the name of Revenant, and initially held the first seat of all the pilots in the tourney thanks having the highest favor count(and thus win-loss ratio) of all of them. Despite this initial status and his sound defeat of Supernova in the first round of matches, however, various circumstances culminated in Revenant's performance being hindered in later matches, and due to personal reasons he ultimately dropped out of the Tourney shortly after his Interlude battle against the God of Lust, Swag. Despite his failure to win any of his matches after the first however, it is still worth noting that in nearly all his subsequent Tourney battles, Revenant managed to push his opponents to the brink of defeat, and most, if not all, of the loses he suffered were remarkably close. Following his surrender against Swag, Revenant vanishes for the remainder of the Nil Crisis. Years later he resurfaces in the public space as the creator of the Revelation System and the assistant/successor to the Diviner, Leonard Davidson. Where Revenant was or what he did in the time in-between is known to only a select few individuals, with the general public simply assuming he quietly retired from Mech Combat to dedicate himself to Mech Development full-time. == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == == Life == == Role == ===== TTG ===== Solomon held the First Seat in the Tournament of the Gods and was, surprisingly, Bear's favored contestant. He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 3rd god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway.

He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 3rd god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway. This conversation would prove to stir up long buried emotions regarding his sister's disappearance, namely the frustration and guilt at his own weakness that day. These emotions slowly but surely began to wear down the cocky, self-assured facade Solomon had built up since that day, and left him significantly unbalanced and distracted during his subsequent battles in the tournament. Even in this compromised state however, he still managed to severely damage and nearly defeat Silent Requiem and Giant, attesting to his genuine skill as a warrior. Shortly before the fourth round of Matches in greed, Solomon was approached by the 1st god Lord and was recruited to help get information out the mysterious being known as Arcturus. The gods had sought out Solomon's help in this matter specifically because of Asmodeus, Solomon's AI servant. Arcturus was notorious for memory wiping anyone who encountered him, and it was hoped that Asmodeus' unique nature as a nueral-integrated AI assistant would allow him to find a way to circumvent the inevitable memory wipe. This theory ultimately proved correct, though Asmodeus suffered heavy corruption and only managed to save the recording he took of the encounter by encrypting it in countless lines of nonsensical code before he was forced into emergency shutdown. Given his partial corruption, Asmodeus was largely absent through the matches in greed as he rebuilt the damaged portions of his own code using information pulled from Solomon's memory. In Asmodeus' absence, Solomon faced off against Slumbering Giant, and without the aid of his old friend felt pressured enough by the battle to call upon a power he had forsaken long ago. Tired of his own lackluster performance, Solomon gave in to the temptation of his Id and once more embraced the Berserker Trance, a technique passed down through the Ryke clan for generations. This series of events would've led to Solomon's death in the Arena had Asmodeus not have restored himself at just the right moment and seized control of the mech away from Solomon, ultimately saving him from being crushed to death as the protection of his Favor finally gave out. With each match Solomon fought after his conversation with Seeker, he came closer and closer to at long last realizing how he'd been lying to himself and those around him as his motives for fighting. By the time of the Tourney's interlude and the gods revealing the true severity of the Tourney's situation to the competitors, Solomon had come to accept that since his sister's disappearance, he'd just been using mech combat as a means to vent his frustration about lacking the strength to make her stay, which he believes would've saved her from whatever fate befell her in the wilds of Tempest. With this epiphany, the last of Solomon's motivation to continue fighting for sport dwindled to nothing. This ultimately led to him suddenly resigning from the tournament during his interlude battle against the 3rd god, Swag, and his disappearance for several years following the Nil Crisis. ===== TTG 2 ===== '''TBD''' == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 8314e8d785e63cecefd7fa0d7ccd78d5021c10b3 213 212 2019-10-30T00:36:26Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Solomon "Sully" Ryke | age = 26(TTG)<br>36(TTG 2) | gender = Male | alias = Revenant | names = | sin = Pride | job = Mechanic<br>Mech Fighter | family = David Ryke (Father)<br>Tesla Ryke (Adopted Sister)<br>Sharai Braixong (Mother)<br>Tamar Braixong (Half-Sister)<br>Sasha Nevaro (Girlfriend)<br>Asmodeus (AI Assistant) }} '''Solomon Ryke''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

David, however, forbid this course of action, and instead taught Solomon the basics of self-defense.

She entered the competition under the alias of "LOLI_HUNTER", and held the seventh seat. == Personality == Kagari was a self-proclaimed, irredeemable lolicon. She loved all lolis, and found beauty in them. Her obsession ran so deep that it was common for her to set aside a full day to just pick a loli and stalk her and observe her actions. These habits got her in trouble with the law on more than one occasion. When she wasn't not obsessing over lolis, however, she was a girl who gave off a "cool" impression, saying little. == Appearance == Kagari had long, brown hair tied into a ponytail, which was held in place by butterfly-motif hairclips. She had black eyes which were often obscured by sunglasses. She was on the tall side for a girl, with perky B-cups. She tended to dress in highly revealing, light clothing, except when she was stalking a loli. During such occasions, she dressed heavily, wearing multiple layers, along with a cap and sunglasses, to hide her profile and identity. == Mech == {{MechStats |System=Divination |Speed=4 |Melee=6 |Firepower=4 |Armor=3 }} Kagari utilized a SBD build which relied on versatility and mobility. Her combat style focused on using various melee weapons hidden in her mech, backed up by fire support from 16 flying "Bits" which would hover in the air around her. Her special ability was "Loli Battery", which raised her mech stats by 1 so long as there was a loli in sight, and allowed her to revive once per battle in a damaged state with +2 to all stats, though this latter function required a loli in the audience to care enough for her to shout for Kagari to get back up. == Life == Little is known of Kagari's life before the tournament. She presumably spent most of it stalking young girls and dodging the Authorities of Lust. == Role == WIP == Relationships == WIP [[Category:Characters]] e39ddcafad599f0ecf6a5a269849bfc6cb8d68a8 0 59 215 180 2019-10-30T03:36:23Z Sutoratosu 30579396 added mech stats wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Morgan Belle | age = 17(TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Strider | names = | sin = Envy | job = Mech Fighter | family = Katrina Belle (Sister) }} '''Morgan Belle''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD. She entered the competition under the alias of "Strider" and initially held the 8th seat in the tourney. == Personality == Morgan was, for the most part, both a kind and shy girl. She'd try her best to help others in almost any way, shape, or form, though obtaining this help usually required one to take the initiative in asking for it. Despite her generally good nature, she had a strong competitive streak stemming from her intense jealousy, and hated to lose. She also had a short temper when dealing with inflated egos and showoffs. == Appearance == Morgan had a light tanned complexion with a slim and somewhat athletic build. She stood at 5'8, with shoulder length jet black hair and yellow eyes. She wore a set of round glasses due to her poor eyesight. Her outfit usually consisted of a simple red shirt with a tan jacket covering it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. However, this could slightly change to fit in with the crowd better. == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=5 | Melee=1 | Firepower=6 | Armor=3 }} Morgan's mech was a SFD Build which relied on it's special ability and signature to win in most fights throughout the tourney. It's ability, the Energy Absorption Shield, lowered her mobility and offense when activated, but boosted her armor significantly and absorbed a portion of the damage from enemy attacks, storing it as power for Strider to use to either boost certain stats, or power her signature attack, Revenge Blast. While this set up was powerful, it also became somewhat of a predictable crutch for Morgan the more the tourney progressed, and she was ultimately beaten at her own strategy by the 7th god, Queen. == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 133fff86f07f21b4b22c452aaf7f07e381ba87b5 0 60 216 181 2019-10-30T03:37:38Z Sutoratosu 30579396 added mech stats wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Mommo Mikuri | age = 20 | gender = Female | alias = Slumbering Giant | names = | sin = Sloth | job = Mech Fighter | family = Unknown }} '''Mommo Mikuri''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD. She entered the competition under the alias of "Slumbering Giant" and initially held the 2nd seat in the tourney. == Personality == Mommo was highly intelligent, cunning and motivated while awake. Unfortunately however, she seldom was, as she preferred to spend her days doing as little as possible. Her laziness was so pervasive that she only tended to her bodily needs when absolutely necessary, and even when she wasn't busy sleeping she would often just lie still loathing about. She even built her mech in such a way to minimize her necessary motions in battle. The only times she ever actively did something was if doing so would allow her to laze about even more afterwards. She could be notably cold and pragmatic in these rare cases, likely stemming from her crankiness after being forced to wake up and act. == Appearance == Mommo was a petite woman barely standing at 4'9" and weighing in at 37 Kg. She had dark hair done up in a bob-cut hair, and her petite stature combined round, child-like cheeks made it hard to determine her true age. Her silver eyes were perpetually half-shut due to her drowsy nature. They shined with a surprising intellect and lucidity however, belying Mommo's true nature. She usually dressed in a simple, black dress and unfitting sock-slippers. She carried a unsettling teddy-bear pillow with herself wherever she went. == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=1 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 }} Mommo's mech was an extremely heavy FAO build which was best described as a (barely) mobile artillery station. It used it's signature, Earthquake, to slam into the ground with its full weight and destabilize the arena's terrain and impede the mobility of speed based mechs. This signature's trigger relied on Mommo's opponent dodging her cluster grenades a certain number of times, which made it extremely easy for her to trigger when needed as most speed mechs would have little trouble doing so. Her special ability, Drop Armor, allowed Mommo to change her build from a FAO to a SFO by dropping her armor once it became heavily damaged. This raised her speed significantly, but also left her incredibly vulnerable and disabled her signature. == Life == Little is known of Mommo's life before the Tourney. She probably spent most of it sleeping though. == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 1045e2cb060d91cb459c3156912de2226e4c4576 0 58 217 148 2020-01-05T20:58:28Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki '''THIS IS A BLANK CHARACTER PAGE LAYOUT.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. This was replaced by a short time by Hellfire Burst, which allowed the mech a sudden burst of speed in any direction, and eventually by the Fusion Core. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated Ricochet, Silent Requiem, LOLI_HUNTER, and Supernova before the tournament's end. This earned her the right to an exhibition match against Lord. The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the False God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the Tenth God, with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. This began a series of events that derailed the tournament, as it and the ensuring exhibition matches shook the will of the competitors and caused several of the remaining competitors to leave for various reasons. When Hiroki was called to Wrath for the fifth round of the tournament, she heard Aries's declaration of war against Tempest. After leaving his audience, she encountered Grima and Arcturus, where the latter issued a challenge to her. Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fusion Core. She had a conversation with Arcturus after he yielded victory, in which he gave her advice about dealing with Watcher and Cardinal before she was whisked away by the former. Watcher explained to her that he intended to raise her as his "hero" by having her defeat Cardinal and save the planes. When she arrived in the false plane of Nil, she tried to sway Cardinal by revealing what Watcher had said to her. Despite this, they did battle, and Cardinal attempted to kill her in desperation after realizing she could not win in a direct fight. Watcher rescued Hiroki, who then refused to strike down Cardinal, prompting him to begin destroying the plane. Hiroki launched an assault on him, and was nearly destroyed when Watcher unleashed a powerful attack. However, Cardinal intervened, absorbing the attack and seemingly dying in the process. She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's strike, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell Sarah he loved her. ==Relationships== Hiroki had a confused relationship with LOLI_HUNTER; the current status of this is unknown, after the latter left the tournament. She has an amicable relationship with Blink, relying on her for advice and defending her to others. Despite their brief interaction, she feels a kinship with Arcturus, viewing him as not unlike a favored uncle or surrogate father figure. She wishes to find Supernova and apologize for the attempt on his life, despite its necessity.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Mech System== The core of TTG and a key reason that it performed so well, the mech system was a simple guided freeform system that tried to give players lots of room to customize while still providing some semblance of balance. ===Fluff=== Mechs are combat suits made of [[Favor]] that combatants across Tempest use to fight one another for sport. Using innate protective fields, they protect the user from harm and most pain until they are destroyed. A mech may be summoned at any time directly around the mech user, but will require time out-of-use to repair after taking damage. When not in use, a mech is stored in a character's [[Internal Dimension|dream space]]. Mech combat usually pits two mech users against one another in a gladiatorial match, with the winner being decided when one combatant is knocked out, their mech is destroyed, or they forfeit. ===Mechanics=== Mechanically, players were given 17 points to spread among four stats: Speed, Melee, Firepower, and Armor. As well as the option to spend two points to acquire a Signature Attack and a completely free Special Ability. Placing 6 points into any one stat would give a special action that could be used in combat. ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters.

Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

It fuels the supernatural abilities that are common throughout the RP, as well as certain advanced technologies left behind by [[the ancients|The Chosen People]]. Favor has been shown to be extremely volatile when mishandled, and this mishandling was even the cause of [[the Sphere's|the Sphere]] destruction. Thus far in TTG, five different methods of manipulating Favor are known to exist. These are as follows: [[Mechs]], [[magic|Magic]], magimechs, [[moderation|Moderation]], and [[ancient technology|The Chosen People/Technology]]. ==Generating Favor== Favor is generated through a combination of one's emotional state and the emotional state of those around them, the more intense the emotions, the more Favor created. As such, the best way to store up a large amount of Favor is to be beloved or reviled by a large number of people. The sport of mech combat came into its extreme popularity because of how efficient it was for gaining Favor, as the heightened emotional states of competition and the fame brought on by success were ideal for quickly storing up a lot of Favor.

'''Melee: 8''' - Lord's punches and kicks strike with overwhelming force, launching all but the heaviest of opponents across the arena with one hit. '''Firepower: 5''' - Lord's gauntlets have heat cannons in the palms that can be used to melt through enemy armor or projectiles.

'''Signature Attack: Heartsurge''' - Lord unleashes a massive burst of energy that completely disables the enemy mech for 4 seconds. The condition for this attack is, "I can no longer feel the pain." '''Special Ability: Pain Capcitor''' - Lord never takes damage directly, instead feeling the full pain of any attack dealt to her.

Unfortunately, it is often the case that her only solution is a direct confrontation, which works well on the battlefield but leads her to tension in personal interactions.

Lord has shoulder-length blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her nose is sharp and she has full, red lips that are often set in a confident smirk. She usually wears a long purple dress and heels. She carries herself with an immense confidence which often rubs people the wrong way if they aren't aware of who she is. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=8 | Firepower=5 | Armor=0 | Signature=Heartsurge | Spells= | Spark=Pain Capacitor }} A pair of purple metal gauntlets and accompanying metal boots and greaves, neon blue energy glows from within the joints. The back of the gauntlets and the soles of her boots have rockets in them. When in mech form Lord wears a skintight purple and black suit which covers her entire body below the neck, as well as pulling her hair back in a ponytail. Lord's mech is a small design comprised only of metal gauntlets, boots, and greaves, all colored purple with neon blue glowing from the joints. Using the rockets in the boots and at the back of the gauntlets, she launches herself at foes to smash them with overwhelming power. If a foe is heavily armored, she uses the heat cannons in her palms to melt through it and expose weak points. She relies heavily on her Spark for defense, as it converts any and all damage she would otherwise take into pain, which she is more than suited to handle. And should an enemy somehow push her to the brink, she can use Heartsurge to completely paralyze tham and their mech, preventing any action for several seconds, during which she can pummel them into submission. ==Life== Lord grew up in Pride during the early years of the [[Mechs/Divination System|Divination System]]. Privileged enough to not only be born into the upper castes, but to one of the most powerful combatants Pride had ever seen, Lord was afforded every resource in her training. Even among the privileged she distinguished herself, showing wisdom and power well beyond her years as early as age four. She was destined for a high position among the people of Pride, perhaps even taking on her mother's role. During this era, there was a sort of faction war wherein children were no longer allowed to study mech combat freely, but were forced to choose which school of combat they would devote themselves to at the age of seven. Once they had done so, they were put to the test against one another, with the victorious faction gaining prestige for the fact that even their children were so powerful. Lord's participation in this contest as cut short by the arrival of [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]], who whisked her and her friend [[Wallace Everford|Wally]] away from the fight. While her other friends searched for her, Lord and Wally explored the Planes with Watcher, learning more about the land they lived in. Lord began to notice something off about her supposed benefactor, and soon came to the conclusion that he was going to attack her. But Lord refused to fight, no matter how much he threatened her, not truly believing that he was the villain her claimed to be. And even after he severely injured her, she still refused to fight. Instead Watcher was defeated by the timeless guardian, [[Chronos]]. Five years later, Watcher would return and lead Lord to her first encounter with a [[Rogue Science|rogue science group]]. Run by the monstrous Ark, this group held no qualms about the results of their inhumane experiments. Seeing that the adults in her life turned a blind eye to such groups, Lord called on her old friends to help her fight this group. This turned into a much more challenging ordeal than her encounter with Watcher, and the death of [[Fowl Carlisle]] made it so she would always regret involving her friends. Despite setbacks and tragedy, Lord managed to succeed in her mission, becoming the first of the gods of Tempest in the process. Ark wasn't finished though, and vowed revenge, kidnapping Wally as she made her escape. Lord and her friends spent the next few years continuing to challenge other rogue science groups and searching for whatever hole Ark had crawled into. When they eventually found her again, she had brought Wally over to her side as an accomplice. Wally and Ark together proved too difficult to stop, and Lord and her friends were forced to retreat. This failure hung over them, and within a few more years, all but [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]] had abandoned the cause. Even though it was just the two of them, they kept fighting to take down Ark and Wally. But even that was doomed to end, as Tesla disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving Lord alone. It was shortly after this that Ark created Adam, a genetically engineered sibling to Tesla that was designed to frustrate and hurt Lord at every opportunity. Despite knowing what he was meant to be, Lord felt responsible for his existence, and took him as her son. Afterwards, she significantly reduced her involvement with what had once been her life's work, choosing instead to focus on unifying and ruling the Plane of Pride. ==Role== ===TTG=== During the time of TTG, Lord was serving as the ruler of Pride and the de facto leader of Tempest's gods. When [[Cardinal Losteye|Cardinal]] first made contact with the gods, Lord was by far the most eager to help, much as she had been with Adam and Temperance before. As such, she felt deeply betrayed when Cardinal accused the gods of plotting against her. This feeling of betrayal led Lord to propose the [[Tournament|Tournament]]. ==Relationships== ===Adam=== Adam is Lord's adopted son, but their relationship is a rocky one. Adam was a gift of sorts from one of Lord's enemies, a boy genetically engineered to frustrate her immensely without ever driving her past the limit of her patience. She loves him dearly, but struggles to keep her cool when faced with his constant attitude. ===Temperance=== Having taken Temperance from her parents, who refused to accept the help that she desperately needed, Lord has many insecurities regarding her adopted daughter. She tries her hardest to protect Temperance, but Temperance admires Lord greatly, and is always pushing herself to try to be more like her mother. ===Princess=== Lord has a deep admiration for her mother, but it has sadly driven a rift between them. Lord cannot reconcile the fact that she has become stronger than Princess, whom she has always looked up to as invincible, and distances herself to avoid having to confront that fact.

Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin. He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Design == === Appearance === Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === '''Speed: 6''' - Tai's mech has powerful thruster rockets to give him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. '''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Mech System== The core of TTG and a key reason that it performed so well, the mech system was a simple guided freeform system that tried to give players lots of room to customize while still providing some semblance of balance. ===Fluff=== Mechs are combat suits made of [[Favor]] that combatants across Tempest use to fight one another for sport. Using innate protective fields, they protect the user from harm and most pain until they are destroyed. A mech may be summoned at any time directly around the mech user, but will require time out-of-use to repair after taking damage. When not in use, a mech is stored in a character's [[Internal Dimension|dream space]]. Mech combat usually pits two mech users against one another in a gladiatorial match, with the winner being decided when one combatant is knocked out, their mech is destroyed, or they forfeit. ===Mechanics=== Mechanically, players were given 17 points to spread among four stats: Speed, Melee, Firepower, and Armor.

Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Mech System== The core of TTG and a key reason that it performed so well, the mech system was a simple guided freeform system that tried to give players lots of room to customize while still providing some semblance of balance. ===Fluff=== Mechs are combat suits made of [[Favor]] that combatants across Tempest use to fight one another for sport. Using innate protective fields, they protect the user from harm and most pain until they are destroyed. A mech may be summoned at any time directly around the mech user, but will require time out-of-use to repair after taking damage. When not in use, a mech is stored in a character's [[Internal Dimension|dream space]]. Mech combat usually pits two mech users against one another in a gladiatorial match, with the winner being decided when one combatant is knocked out, their mech is destroyed, or they forfeit. ===Mechanics=== Mechanically, players were given 17 points to spread among four stats: Speed, Melee, Firepower, and Armor. As well as the option to spend two points to acquire a Signature Attack and a completely free Special Ability. Placing 6 points into any one stat would give a special action that could be used in combat. ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma.

Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin. He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Design == === Appearance === Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === '''Speed: 6''' - Tai's mech has powerful thruster rockets to give him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. '''Melee: 6''' - The mech's fists are absolute jawbreakers. On top of the velocity the rockets give, the fists can deal devastating damage upon impact. '''Firepower: 1''' - The flame cannons on top of the chest can't actually be aimed, and only serves as a way to repel enemy approaches. The mini-cannons in the palms do the same thing to similar extents as well. However, the fire rate is stupidly high, making the cannons extremely good at their jobs. '''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Void Moss/Tejfidh|Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

'''Armor: 2''' - The heatproof armor is there to prevent backward heat-flow when the Fire-Shield is activated, so it's only slightly good at resisting energy-based attacks. It's comparably frail toward physical blows. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Lain Argyle|Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Void Moss#Tejfidh|Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

Originally one of the four Princes of Magic, Watcher took it upon himself to take the role of a villain. He believed that his power alone would never be enough to protect everything, and that the only way to properly strengthen others was for them to face a seemingly insurmountable foe. His [[Personal Skill|Personal Skills]] is unknown. He appears in [[The Tenth God]], [[The Pride of Sheep]], and some [[Side Stories]] ==Personality== Watcher is an extremely self-destructive person who has been shown to do nothing but cause pain and suffering wherever he goes. Believing it his destiny to always serve as a villain, he attempts to position himself opposite great heroes to influence them to growth. He is willing to go to near any length if he believes it will drive the creation of a hero that will defeat him. There are rare occasions where he shows a glimpse of a caring heart, but those are overshadowed by the destruction, anger, and abuse he sows in his wake. ==Appearance== Watcher is a moderately dark skinned man who appears to be in his late teens. He has curly brown hair and dull blue eyes. He wears a business suit, dress shoes, and gloves, all in a pristine white. ==Magic== {{MechStats | System=Magic | Speed=? | Melee=? | Firepower=? | Armor=? | Signature= | Spells= | Spark=Lightbringer Singularity }} ==Life== Watcher was born in ancient Mesopotamia during the earliest throes of the bronze age. The son of a scribe, he was one of the few privileged to learn the art of reading and writing. Recognized as having great potential, he was taken as the apprentice of the king's court mage, under whom he studied religion, philosophy, and magic. It was during these studies that he unlocked his Spark, which among many other functions, granted him his immortality. He served as the court mage of various kings for several hundred years after, until eventually becoming bored with his position and leaving to travel the world. Watcher's influence became less and less with time as he willfully distanced himself from the world's affairs, until eventually he faded into the background entirely. He would still exist for those who sought him out, but he would never involve himself with anyone for too long. ==Role== ==Relationships== [[Category:Characters]] abe92231eaa1f43e6573689fab5f61b8c7b6abaa 0 34 261 218 2020-01-07T14:58:26Z Raindrop Valkyrie 30595344 /* The Tenth God */ wikitext text/x-wiki ==Player Characters== ===The Tenth God=== [[Hiroki Yukimura]] [[Solomon Ryke]] [[Kagari Koizumi]] [[Morgan Belle]] [[Mommo Mikuri]] [[Lawrence Lomellian]] [[Tai]] [[Adam]] [[Grima Hansen]] [[Nastasia Susanna Sinclair]] ===The First Witch=== ===The Pride of Sheep=== ==NPCs== ===Gods=== [[Victoria McKay]] [[Sarah Argyle]] [[Sain Derrek]] [[Wine]] [[Amelia Tolvaj]] [[Tobias Hartford]] [[Joshua King]] [[Karnan Malik]] [[Lain Argyle]] ===Princes of Magic=== [[Arcturus]] [[Mackenzie Cloud]] [[Cameron Argyle]] [[Cardinal Losteye]] ===Magic Children=== ===General Villains=== [[N.T.

He entered the competition under the name of Revenant, and initially held the first seat of all the pilots in the tourney thanks having the highest favor count(and thus win-loss ratio) of all of them. Despite this initial status and his sound defeat of Supernova in the first round of matches, however, various circumstances culminated in Revenant's performance being hindered in later matches, and due to personal reasons he ultimately dropped out of the Tourney shortly after his Interlude battle against the God of Lust, Swag. Despite his failure to win any of his matches after the first however, it is still worth noting that in nearly all his subsequent Tourney battles, Revenant managed to push his opponents to the brink of defeat, and most, if not all, of the loses he suffered were remarkably close. Following his surrender against Swag, Revenant vanishes for the remainder of the Nil Crisis. Years later he resurfaces in the public space as the creator of the Revelation System and the assistant/successor to the Diviner, Leonard Davidson. Where Revenant was or what he did in the time in-between is known to only a select few individuals, with the general public simply assuming he quietly retired from Mech Combat to dedicate himself to Mech Development full-time. == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=8 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 }} During and leading up the Nil Crisis, Sully used a SMO build focused on disabling opponents from range and then closing in for a kill. He wielded a crimson katana named "Ragnarok" (which was later converted into a massive Chakram) as his primary weapon, though he also used plasma sabers and metallic spheres hidden in various compartments around his mech. His spark, the Tesla Pulse, granted Sully unrivaled control over electromagnetic fields, allowing him to use magnetism in a variety of ways from defending himself from metallic projectiles and physical strikes, enhancing the power of his own strikes by accelerating their velocity to match that of rail gun, enhancing his own mobility through applying similar methods to his own body, or even the creation and firing of powerful electrical bolts. These were all just secondary effects of the Tesla Pulse however, as it's primary purpose was to create a massive EMP which would disable any mech caught in it's path; this effectively left his opponents helpless to stop Solomon's subsequent onslaught of attacks. Combined with his own skill and training as a warrior, the Tesla Pulse allowed Solomon to become the top-ranked fighter during the initial phases of the tourney. == Life == Solomon was born and raised in Pride. His father, David, was a Mech mechanic and the last living descendant of the Ryke, a centuries old warrior clan who had traditionally aligned with the Body Enclave before David's defection to the newly formed Tech Enclave. His mother, Sharai, was a former street urchin who turned Mech fighter. Sharai would abandon both Solomon and David just a few months after his birth, resulting in David's embitterment towards his estranged wife, which he would pass onto Solomon in the years to follow. Sometime shortly after Sharai's flight, David sheltered [[Tesla Ryke|a young girl whom he found wandering within the Anchor boundaries of his shop]]. The girl, having only a numeric code as an identifier, was given the name of "Tesla" by David due to her fascination with electrical phenomena. He would go on to raise Tesla as his own, and she would become a big sister to Solomon as they grew up. As an infant, Solomon was present in the stands during the [[The Pride of Sheep|Coming of Age]] matches held in Pride. As a lad, Solomon was bullied by a gang of older boys belonging to various clans who had long feuded with the Rykes. Tesla, who was at this point both older and stronger than the boys, was adamant about finding and beating each and every one of the gang members. David, however, forbid this course of action, and instead taught Solomon the basics of self-defense. Sully took quickly to the techniques, and would practice them on his own in the hopes of becoming strong enough to bring an end to his torment. He eventually accomplished just that during one fateful encounter, wherein he preemptively broke the gang leader's nose and threatened to do worse to the others if they insisted on fighting him. When Solomon returned home and told his father the news, David chastised him for acting so dishonorably, but also commended his sheer moxie in pulling such a move. David began training Solomon in the art of Mech fighting shortly thereafter, feeling these events had proven he was ready to learn. During his training, Solomon would have encounters with many other youths entering the Mech scene. Among these was a girl named [[Sasha Nevaro|Sasha]], whom Solomon would become fast friends with despite their clans' vastly differently fighting styles and philosophies. Solomon proved to have genuine talent as a Mech pilot, emerging victorious from many of his early matches and beginning to make a name for himself. At this point, confident his son was ready to complete his training, David began to teach Solomon the Berserker Trance long passed down throughout the Ryke clan, which allowed it's users to gain unstoppable levels of power for a few precious moments at the cost of disintegrating their own Mechs. Solomon found the technique difficult to manage, but nevertheless pressed on, hoping to hone his mastery of it in the arena. Sasha agreed to help him with this endeavor, and they engaged in a mock battle wherein Solomon intentionally took as much damage as his Mech could stand before entering the trance. Within the span of mere seconds, he was able to wade through the barrage of Sasha's attacks and deal enough damage to immediately turn the fight around, but disaster struck shortly thereafter. Unable to maintain his control over the trance, Solomon quickly lost himself in the rage and continued to batter Sasha's Mech to the point where her Favor Protection was on the verge of collapse and her life put in immediate danger. Tesla, having been present to witness and referee the match, quickly intervened and managed to easily hold Solomon at bay until the Trance ended. == Role == ==== TTG ==== Solomon held the First Seat in the Tournament of the Gods and was, surprisingly, Bear's favored contestant. He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 3rd god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway. This conversation would prove to stir up long buried emotions regarding his sister's disappearance, namely the frustration and guilt at his own weakness that day. These emotions slowly but surely began to wear down the cocky, self-assured facade Solomon had built up since that day, and left him significantly unbalanced and distracted during his subsequent battles in the tournament. Even in this compromised state however, he still managed to severely damage and nearly defeat Silent Requiem and Giant, attesting to his genuine skill as a warrior. Shortly before the fourth round of Matches in greed, Solomon was approached by the 1st god Lord and was recruited to help get information out the mysterious being known as Arcturus. The gods had sought out Solomon's help in this matter specifically because of Asmodeus, Solomon's AI servant. Arcturus was notorious for memory wiping anyone who encountered him, and it was hoped that Asmodeus' unique nature as a nueral-integrated AI assistant would allow him to find a way to circumvent the inevitable memory wipe. This theory ultimately proved correct, though Asmodeus suffered heavy corruption and only managed to save the recording he took of the encounter by encrypting it in countless lines of nonsensical code before he was forced into emergency shutdown. Given his partial corruption, Asmodeus was largely absent through the matches in greed as he rebuilt the damaged portions of his own code using information pulled from Solomon's memory. In Asmodeus' absence, Solomon faced off against Slumbering Giant, and without the aid of his old friend felt pressured enough by the battle to call upon a power he had forsaken long ago. Tired of his own lackluster performance, Solomon gave in to the temptation of his Id and once more embraced the Berserker Trance, a technique passed down through the Ryke clan for generations. This series of events would've led to Solomon's death in the Arena had Asmodeus not have restored himself at just the right moment and seized control of the mech away from Solomon, ultimately saving him from being crushed to death as the protection of his Favor finally gave out. With each match Solomon fought after his conversation with Seeker, he came closer and closer to at long last realizing how he'd been lying to himself and those around him as to his motives for fighting. By the time of the Tourney's interlude and the gods revealing the true severity of the Tourney's situation to the competitors, Solomon had come to accept that since his sister's disappearance, he'd just been using mech combat as a means to vent his frustration about lacking the strength to make her stay, which he believes would've saved her from whatever fate befell her in the wilds of Tempest. With this epiphany, the last of Solomon's motivation to continue fighting for sport dwindled to nothing. This ultimately led to him suddenly resigning from the tournament during his interlude battle against the 3rd god, Swag, and his disappearance for several years following the Nil Crisis. ===== TTG 2 ===== '''TBD''' == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 4cb3a940a02981cc3aedd3a42efd7390d759d08b 274 266 2020-01-07T19:38:40Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Solomon "Sully" Ryke | age = 26(TTG)<br>36(TTG 2) | gender = Male | alias = Revenant | names = | sin = Pride | job = Mechanic<br>Mech Fighter (Former) | family = David Ryke (Father)<br>Tesla Ryke (Adopted Sister)<br>Sharai Braixong (Mother)<br>Tamar Braixong (Half-Sister)<br>Sasha Nevaro (Girlfriend)<br>Asmodeus (AI Assistant) }} '''Solomon Ryke''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

Despite his failure to win any of his matches after the first however, it is still worth noting that in nearly all his subsequent Tourney battles, Revenant managed to push his opponents to the brink of defeat, and most, if not all, of the loses he suffered were remarkably close. Following his surrender against Swag, Revenant vanishes for the remainder of the Nil Crisis. Years later he resurfaces in the public space as the creator of the Revelation System and the assistant/successor to the Diviner, Leonard Davidson. Where Revenant was or what he did in the time in-between is known to only a select few individuals, with the general public simply assuming he quietly retired from Mech Combat to dedicate himself to Mech Development full-time. == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == ===TTG=== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=8 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Tesla Pulse }} During and leading up the Nil Crisis, Sully used a SMO build focused on disabling opponents from range and then closing in for a kill. He wielded a crimson katana named "Ragnarok" (which was later converted into a massive Chakram) as his primary weapon, though he also used plasma sabers and metallic spheres hidden in various compartments around his mech. His spark, the Tesla Pulse, granted Sully unrivaled control over electromagnetic fields, allowing him to use magnetism in a variety of ways from defending himself from metallic projectiles and physical strikes, enhancing the power of his own strikes by accelerating their velocity to match that of rail gun, enhancing his own mobility through applying similar methods to his own body, or even the creation and firing of powerful electrical bolts. These were all just secondary effects of the Tesla Pulse however, as it's primary purpose was to create a massive EMP which would disable any mech caught in it's path; this effectively left his opponents helpless to stop Solomon's subsequent onslaught of attacks. Combined with his own skill and training as a warrior, the Tesla Pulse allowed Solomon to become the top-ranked fighter during the initial phases of the tourney. == Life == Solomon was born and raised in Pride. His father, David, was a Mech mechanic and the last living descendant of the Ryke, a centuries old warrior clan who had traditionally aligned with the Body Enclave before David's defection to the newly formed Tech Enclave. His mother, Sharai, was a former street urchin who turned Mech fighter. Sharai would abandon both Solomon and David just a few months after his birth, resulting in David's embitterment towards his estranged wife, which he would pass onto Solomon in the years to follow. Sometime shortly after Sharai's flight, David sheltered [[Tesla Ryke|a young girl whom he found wandering within the Anchor boundaries of his shop]]. The girl, having only a numeric code as an identifier, was given the name of "Tesla" by David due to her fascination with electrical phenomena. He would go on to raise Tesla as his own, and she would become a big sister to Solomon as they grew up. As an infant, Solomon was present in the stands during the [[The Pride of Sheep|Coming of Age]] matches held in Pride. As a lad, Solomon was bullied by a gang of older boys belonging to various clans who had long feuded with the Rykes. Tesla, who was at this point both older and stronger than the boys, was adamant about finding and beating each and every one of the gang members. David, however, forbid this course of action, and instead taught Solomon the basics of self-defense. Sully took quickly to the techniques, and would practice them on his own in the hopes of becoming strong enough to bring an end to his torment. He eventually accomplished just that during one fateful encounter, wherein he preemptively broke the gang leader's nose and threatened to do worse to the others if they insisted on fighting him. When Solomon returned home and told his father the news, David chastised him for acting so dishonorably, but also commended his sheer moxie in pulling such a move. David began training Solomon in the art of Mech fighting shortly thereafter, feeling these events had proven he was ready to learn. During his training, Solomon would have encounters with many other youths entering the Mech scene. Among these was a girl named [[Sasha Nevaro|Sasha]], whom Solomon would become fast friends with despite their clans' vastly differently fighting styles and philosophies. Solomon proved to have genuine talent as a Mech pilot, emerging victorious from many of his early matches and beginning to make a name for himself. At this point, confident his son was ready to complete his training, David began to teach Solomon the Berserker Trance long passed down throughout the Ryke clan, which allowed it's users to gain unstoppable levels of power for a few precious moments at the cost of disintegrating their own Mechs. Solomon found the technique difficult to manage, but nevertheless pressed on, hoping to hone his mastery of it in the arena. Sasha agreed to help him with this endeavor, and they engaged in a mock battle wherein Solomon intentionally took as much damage as his Mech could stand before entering the trance. Within the span of mere seconds, he was able to wade through the barrage of Sasha's attacks and deal enough damage to immediately turn the fight around, but disaster struck shortly thereafter. Unable to maintain his control over the trance, Solomon quickly lost himself in the rage and continued to batter Sasha's Mech to the point where her Favor Protection was on the verge of collapse and her life put in immediate danger. Tesla, having been present to witness and referee the match, quickly intervened and managed to easily hold Solomon at bay until the Trance ended. == Role == ==== TTG ==== Solomon held the First Seat in the Tournament of the Gods and was, surprisingly, Bear's favored contestant. He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 3rd god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway. This conversation would prove to stir up long buried emotions regarding his sister's disappearance, namely the frustration and guilt at his own weakness that day. These emotions slowly but surely began to wear down the cocky, self-assured facade Solomon had built up since that day, and left him significantly unbalanced and distracted during his subsequent battles in the tournament. Even in this compromised state however, he still managed to severely damage and nearly defeat Silent Requiem and Giant, attesting to his genuine skill as a warrior. Shortly before the fourth round of Matches in greed, Solomon was approached by the 1st god Lord and was recruited to help get information out the mysterious being known as Arcturus. The gods had sought out Solomon's help in this matter specifically because of Asmodeus, Solomon's AI servant. Arcturus was notorious for memory wiping anyone who encountered him, and it was hoped that Asmodeus' unique nature as a nueral-integrated AI assistant would allow him to find a way to circumvent the inevitable memory wipe. This theory ultimately proved correct, though Asmodeus suffered heavy corruption and only managed to save the recording he took of the encounter by encrypting it in countless lines of nonsensical code before he was forced into emergency shutdown. Given his partial corruption, Asmodeus was largely absent through the matches in greed as he rebuilt the damaged portions of his own code using information pulled from Solomon's memory. In Asmodeus' absence, Solomon faced off against Slumbering Giant, and without the aid of his old friend felt pressured enough by the battle to call upon a power he had forsaken long ago. Tired of his own lackluster performance, Solomon gave in to the temptation of his Id and once more embraced the Berserker Trance, a technique passed down through the Ryke clan for generations. This series of events would've led to Solomon's death in the Arena had Asmodeus not have restored himself at just the right moment and seized control of the mech away from Solomon, ultimately saving him from being crushed to death as the protection of his Favor finally gave out. With each match Solomon fought after his conversation with Seeker, he came closer and closer to at long last realizing how he'd been lying to himself and those around him as to his motives for fighting. By the time of the Tourney's interlude and the gods revealing the true severity of the Tourney's situation to the competitors, Solomon had come to accept that since his sister's disappearance, he'd just been using mech combat as a means to vent his frustration about lacking the strength to make her stay, which he believes would've saved her from whatever fate befell her in the wilds of Tempest. With this epiphany, the last of Solomon's motivation to continue fighting for sport dwindled to nothing. This ultimately led to him suddenly resigning from the tournament during his interlude battle against the 3rd god, Swag, and his disappearance for several years following the Nil Crisis. ==== TTG 2 ==== '''TBD''' == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] f6f1811b3cbc241d437ead96056e28593f6b5d24 0 85 267 2020-01-07T18:57:05Z Sutoratosu 30579396 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character | name = Tesla Ryke | age = 7 (TPoS)<br>32 (TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Nikolai | names = B287 (Lab Code) | sin = Envy/Wrath | job = Mech Fighter<br>M..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Tesla Ryke | age = 7 (TPoS)<br>32 (TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Nikolai | names = B287 (Lab Code) | sin = Envy/Wrath | job = Mech Fighter<br>Mech Mechanic | family = David Ryke (Adoptive Father)<br>Solomon Ryke (Adoptive Brother)<br>Adam (Biological Brother) }} [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == {{MechStats | System= | Speed= | Melee= | Firepower= | Armor= }} == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] a19363197a5c6ae25a0d295b39cb06d5bfe7e016 269 267 2020-01-07T19:00:49Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Tesla Ryke | age = 7 (TPoS)<br>33 (TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Nikolai | names = B287 (Lab Code) | sin = Envy/Wrath | job = Mech Fighter<br>Mech Mechanic | family = David Ryke (Adoptive Father)<br>Solomon Ryke (Adoptive Brother)<br>Adam (Biological Brother) }} [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == {{MechStats | System= | Speed= | Melee= | Firepower= | Armor= }} == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] d3e2f1b3aead60ad49594a72d4b892e6b22f4317 0 50 272 231 2020-01-07T19:10:57Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki Stored within the [[dream spaces|Internal Dimension]] of the various characters in TTG, Favor (also known as mana) is a mystical substance created by strong emotions. It fuels the supernatural abilities that are common throughout the RP, as well as certain advanced technologies left behind by [[the ancients|The Chosen People]]. Favor has been shown to be extremely volatile when mishandled, and this mishandling was even the cause of [[the Sphere's|the Sphere]] destruction. Thus far in TTG, five different methods of manipulating Favor are known to exist. These are as follows: [[Mechs]], [[magic|Magic]], magimechs, [[moderation|Moderation]], and [[ancient technology|The Chosen People/Technology]]. =Generating Favor= Favor is generated through a combination of one's emotional state and the emotional state of those around them, the more intense the emotions, the more Favor created. As such, the best way to store up a large amount of Favor is to be beloved or reviled by a large number of people. The sport of mech combat came into its extreme popularity because of how efficient it was for gaining Favor, as the heightened emotional states of competition and the fame brought on by success were ideal for quickly storing up a lot of Favor. And in turn it allowed showcasing success by using that Favor to participate in further competitions, creating an exponential growth. However, this is only for accumulating a store of Favor. Favor created from this method is called static Favor, but there is also fluid Favor. Fluid Favor is even more volatile than static Favor, but much more of it can be generated in a much shorter time. As with static Favor, this is done through strong emotions, but is focused more on how one feels in the moment, rather than extended emotional states. This makes fluid Favor essentially impossible to build up for more than a very short period, as it will quickly dissipate if unused. Most Favor based technology relies on absorbing small bursts of fluid Favor that are naturally given off by all people. Some characters, such as [[Watcher|Cameron Argyle]], possess unique abilities that let them accumulate Favor through abnormal means. =Alignment= [[Alignment List]] A key aspect of everything that uses Favor is its alignment. Alignments are intrinsically tied to a being's existence, although to what degree varies, and even those so in tune with their alignment as to be called "pure" may still exhibit traits beyond it. To become truly one with an alignment would require abandoning all else. Each alignment has its own role to play in the universe, although only a rare few find themselves directly impacted by this enigmatic cycle. For those rare few, there is a set of rules that govern their existences, so long as they stay true to themselves: Energy will always defeat Darkness and stalemate with Light, Magic will always defeat Energy and stalemate with darkness, Light will always defeat Magic and stalemate with energy, and Darkness will always defeat Light and stalemate with Magic. ===Energy=== The energy alignment belongs to those who are impulsive and stubborn. They love to fight for themselves and others. Destined for glory or a glorious failure, they burn brighter and longer than anyone else. Energy is associated with concepts such as creation, fire, and leadership. It is the most powerful alignment when it comes to direct combat, and mechs are closely associated with it because of this. ===Magic=== The alignment of things such as water, pleasure, and insanity, magic is the alignment of life itself. Those with a magic alignment are carefree and whimsical, living in the moment and doing their best to enjoy themselves. They are ideal as problem solvers. Unsurprisingly, this alignment is tied to magic as a system as well, and the magic system's extreme versatility reflects this. ===Light=== The ultimate destructive force, the light alignment is filled with the obsessed, self-loathing, and spiteful. No known system is tied to Light, but any such system would most likely be built on obsession and hatred, only good for destruction. ===Darkness=== For those who are lonely and thoughtful, those who put others before themselves, Darkness is the alignment of loss, emptiness, and selflessness. Those who belong to this alignment are easily satisfied and prone to filling the lower rungs of society by choice. Moderation is the system associated with Darkness, making it excellent for artistic endeavors. ===Imaginary=== A fifth theoretical alignment exists that is a perfect balance of all of the other four. Such an alignment would always be classified as being pure. No known character has ever possessed this alignment.

Even those that do not actively make use of Favor in any way still possess one, only dormant. A character's spark..." wikitext text/x-wiki Sparks are an innate part of each and every character in TTG. Even those that do not actively make use of Favor in any way still possess one, only dormant. A character's spark is representative of their will and being, taking form as a unique ability to aid them when they put Favor to use. One's spark can often be a major clue towards their [[Favor#Alignment]], as both are born of the same fundamental existence. As a general rule sparks cannot be forcibly changed, although with the help of the divination system they can be replaced with constructed abilities. These abilities are much weaker, but a poor understanding of sparks made them commonplace during the heyday of the [[Mechs#Divination System|Divination System]]. This does not mean sparks are static, in fact they are very flexible. A Spark will reliably adapt to any build, though it will still be fundamentally the same ability. 1459b776dd9fe975236f3a2cb429bba527c591c2 0 45 280 233 2020-01-07T19:46:02Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character |alias=Hellfire Knight |names=Yukimura Hiroki, Heck |age=15 |gender=Female |job=Tournament fighter (otherwise unemployed)}} '''Hiroki Yukimura''' was one of the top competitors in a [[Tournament|tournament to become a god]] held across the Planes. She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=3 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 }} The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. This was replaced by a short time by Hellfire Burst, which allowed the mech a sudden burst of speed in any direction, and eventually by the Fusion Core. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated [[Lawrence Lomellian|Ricochet]], [[Adam|Silent Requiem]], [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], and [[Tai|Supernova]] before the tournament's end. This earned her the right to an exhibition match against [[Victoria McKay|Lord.]] The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the False God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the [[Cardinal Losteye|Tenth God]], with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. This began a series of events that derailed the tournament, as it and the ensuring exhibition matches shook the will of the competitors and caused several of the remaining competitors to leave for various reasons. When Hiroki was called to Wrath for the fifth round of the tournament, she heard [[Aries's declaration of war against Tempest. After leaving his audience, she encountered Grima and [[Arcturus]], where the latter issued a challenge to her. Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fusion Core. She had a conversation with Arcturus after he yielded victory, in which he gave her advice about dealing with Watcher and Cardinal before she was whisked away by the former. Watcher explained to her that he intended to raise her as his "hero" by having her defeat Cardinal and save the planes. When she arrived in the false plane of Nil, she tried to sway Cardinal by revealing what Watcher had said to her. Despite this, they did battle, and Cardinal attempted to kill her in desperation after realizing she could not win in a direct fight. Watcher rescued Hiroki, who then refused to strike down Cardinal, prompting him to begin destroying the plane. Hiroki launched an assault on him, and was nearly destroyed when Watcher unleashed a powerful attack. However, Cardinal intervened, absorbing the attack and seemingly dying in the process. She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the true Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's attack, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell [[Sarah Argyle|Sarah]] he loved her. ==Relationships== Hiroki had a confused relationship with Kagari; the current status of this is unknown, after the latter left the tournament. She has an amicable relationship with Blink, relying on her for advice and defending her to others. Despite their brief interaction, she feels a kinship with Arcturus, viewing him as not unlike a favored uncle or surrogate father figure. She wishes to find Supernova and apologize for the attempt on his life, despite its necessity. She holds a grudge against Adam for his underhanded tactics during their match, though she is attempting to get over this.

She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the true Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's attack, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell [[Sarah Argyle|Sarah]] he loved her. ==Relationships== Hiroki had a confused relationship with Kagari; the current status of this is unknown, after the latter left the tournament. She has an amicable relationship with Blink, relying on her for advice and defending her to others. Despite their brief interaction, she feels a kinship with Arcturus, viewing him as not unlike a favored uncle or surrogate father figure. She wishes to find Supernova and apologize for the attempt on his life, despite its necessity. She holds a grudge against Adam for his underhanded tactics during their match, though she is attempting to get over this.

She entered the competition under the alias of "Strider" and initially held the 8th seat in the tourney. == Personality == Morgan was, for the most part, both a kind and shy girl. She'd try her best to help others in almost any way, shape, or form, though obtaining this help usually required one to take the initiative in asking for it. Despite her generally good nature, she had a strong competitive streak stemming from her intense jealousy, and hated to lose. She also had a short temper when dealing with inflated egos and showoffs. == Appearance == Morgan had a light tanned complexion with a slim and somewhat athletic build. She stood at 5'8, with shoulder length jet black hair and yellow eyes. She wore a set of round glasses due to her poor eyesight. Her outfit usually consisted of a simple red shirt with a tan jacket covering it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. However, this could slightly change to fit in with the crowd better. == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=5 | Melee=1 | Firepower=6 | Armor=3 | Signature="Revenge Blast" | Spells= | Spark=E.A.S. }} Morgan's mech was a SFD Build which relied on it's special ability and signature to win in most fights throughout the tourney. It's ability, the Energy Absorption Shield (E.A.S.) lowered her mobility and offense when activated, but boosted her armor significantly and absorbed a portion of the damage from enemy attacks, storing it as power for Strider to use to either boost certain stats, or power her signature attack, Revenge Blast. While this set up was powerful, it also became somewhat of a predictable crutch for Morgan the more the tourney progressed, and she was ultimately beaten at her own strategy by the 7th god, Queen. == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 7b40403dbbf4556de8877796aafd1e4e2e44b2eb 0 55 286 214 2020-01-07T20:10:25Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{RetconWarning}} {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Kagari Koizumi | age = 18 | gender = Female | alias = LOLI_HUNTER | names = | sin = Lust | job = Mech Pilot<br>Stalker | family = Unknown }} Kagari was among the top 8 Mech Pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the year 32 AD. She entered the competition under the alias of "LOLI_HUNTER", and held the seventh seat. == Personality == Kagari was a self-proclaimed, irredeemable lolicon. She loved all lolis, and found beauty in them. Her obsession ran so deep that it was common for her to set aside a full day to just pick a loli and stalk her and observe her actions. These habits got her in trouble with the law on more than one occasion. When she wasn't not obsessing over lolis, however, she was a girl who gave off a "cool" impression, saying little. == Appearance == Kagari had long, brown hair tied into a ponytail, which was held in place by butterfly-motif hairclips. She had black eyes which were often obscured by sunglasses. She was on the tall side for a girl, with perky B-cups. She tended to dress in highly revealing, light clothing, except when she was stalking a loli. During such occasions, she dressed heavily, wearing multiple layers, along with a cap and sunglasses, to hide her profile and identity. == Mech == {{MechStats | System= | Speed=4 | Melee=6 | Firepower=4 | Armor=3 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=(Retcon Pending) }} Kagari utilized a SBD build which relied on versatility and mobility. Her combat style focused on using various melee weapons hidden in her mech, backed up by fire support from 16 flying "Bits" which would hover in the air around her. Her special ability was "Loli Battery"((Retcon Pending)), which raised her mech stats by 1 so long as there was a loli in sight, and allowed her to revive once per battle in a damaged state with +2 to all stats, though this latter function required a loli in the audience to care enough for her to shout for Kagari to get back up. == Life == Little is known of Kagari's life before the tournament. She presumably spent most of it stalking young girls and dodging the Authorities of Lust. == Role == WIP == Relationships == WIP [[Category:Characters]] aaa7f37bfb3c334094096f20b30a721a64d9ddd7 0 71 287 221 2020-01-07T20:15:11Z 2601:404:CE01:2970:FD16:D2DD:6050:30D 0 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Grima Hansen | age = 20 | gender = Female | alias = Valkyrie | sin = Greed | job = Mech Fighter Thief }} == Personality == For the most part, Grima is a notably calm person, being fairly straightforward in what she says and being somewhat of a (terrible) jokester. However, her biggest issues are the fact that she has a fairly terrible case of kleptomania, and is absolutely terrible with directions. In the case of her kleptomania, it is something she cannot control, generally flaring up when around small, unimportant objects. She, personally, hates it, and tries to keep it hidden as best as she can. She also suffers from a lack of self-worth. == Appearance == Grima is a 5’5” woman, possessing a more athletic build (namely, light muscles plus B-Cup chest), with a pale complexion, black hair cut into a simplistic bob cut, and dull red eyes. Her outfits tend to be simplistic and street looking, her favorite being a plain white shirt and jeans combo, complimented by a pocketless jacket, generally left unbuttoned. == Mech == Valkyrie was a MAD build focused on pure melee combat, slow but extremely hard hitting if one were to challenge her in her field. The mech itself took the form of a mass of grey armor to make the pilot resemble a knight, and came equipped with a regular sword and a heavily reinforced shield, possessing both a force field projector and temperature regulation. Her unique ability, "Heartbeat", allows Grima to speed up her perception of time, basically giving her more time to think and react to threats. However, she can only use this ability for five seconds per fight, as the ability puts an immense strain on her physical body. {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=5 | Firepower=0 | Armor=8 | Signature= Void | Spark= Heartbeat }} == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] ed6b85ff93a1a55956ddcef679f41a381e67dc20 0 60 288 216 2020-01-07T20:25:26Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Mommo Mikuri | age = 20 | gender = Female | alias = Slumbering Giant | names = | sin = Sloth | job = Mech Fighter | family = Unknown }} '''Mommo Mikuri''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD. She entered the competition under the alias of "Slumbering Giant" and initially held the 2nd seat in the tourney. == Personality == Mommo was highly intelligent, cunning and motivated while awake. Unfortunately however, she seldom was, as she preferred to spend her days doing as little as possible. Her laziness was so pervasive that she only tended to her bodily needs when absolutely necessary, and even when she wasn't busy sleeping she would often just lie still loathing about. She even built her mech in such a way to minimize her necessary motions in battle. The only times she ever actively did something was if doing so would allow her to laze about even more afterwards. She could be notably cold and pragmatic in these rare cases, likely stemming from her crankiness after being forced to wake up and act. == Appearance == Mommo was a petite woman barely standing at 4'9" and weighing in at 37 Kg. She had dark hair done up in a bob-cut hair, and her petite stature combined round, child-like cheeks made it hard to determine her true age. Her silver eyes were perpetually half-shut due to her drowsy nature. They shined with a surprising intellect and lucidity however, belying Mommo's true nature. She usually dressed in a simple, black dress and unfitting sock-slippers. She carried a unsettling teddy-bear pillow with herself wherever she went. == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=1 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=Earthquake | Spells= | Spark=Drop Armor }} Mommo's mech was an extremely heavy FAO build which was best described as a (barely) mobile artillery station. It used it's signature, Earthquake, to slam into the ground with its full weight and destabilize the arena's terrain and impede the mobility of speed based mechs. This signature's trigger relied on Mommo's opponent dodging her cluster grenades a certain number of times, which made it extremely easy for her to trigger when needed as most speed mechs would have little trouble doing so. Her special ability, Drop Armor, allowed Mommo to change her build from a FAO to a SFO by dropping her armor once it became heavily damaged. This raised her speed significantly, but also left her incredibly vulnerable and disabled her signature. == Life == Little is known of Mommo's life before the Tourney. She probably spent most of it sleeping though. == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 4f09069d6ab8f26126391c552b453ef1653dd15e 0 61 289 179 2020-01-07T20:27:49Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{RetconWarning}} {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Lawrence Lomellian | age = 30(TTG) | gender = Male | alias = Ricochet | names = | sin = Pride | job = Mech Fighter | family = Unknown }} '''Lawrence Lomellian''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin. He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Design == === Appearance === Tai's mech isn't very bulky, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports are laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the mech is the biggest part of the mech, and it houses the Fire-Shield system, which powers on the heat of the mech. It also has four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the mech are completely covered with orange heatproof armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the mech is attached with powerful thruster rockets, providing high-speed movement and good handling. The mech's main features are the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them are much tougher compared to the rest of the mech. The palms contain mini-cannons which can shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the mech are colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, Tai's head is completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=6 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 | Signature=Nova Strike | Spells= | Spark=Fire-Shield }} Tai's mech was a SMD build which had powerful thruster rockets that gave him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. It's fists were absolute jawbreakers, and on top of the velocity the rockets gave, the fists could deal devastating damage upon impact. It had minimal firepower, as the flame cannons on top of the chest could not actually be aimed, and only served as a way to repel enemy approaches, and the mini-cannons in the palms served the same purpose. Though his cannons' power was low, their fire rate was exceedingly high. Tai additionally employed heatproof armoing to prevent backward heat-flow when his special ability, Fire-Shield, was activated. This armoring was somewhat decent against other energy forms, but fared poorly against physical strikes. '''Signature Attack: Nova Strike''' - Tai puts the thruster rockets to maximum power and turn all the heat into a powerful energy shield, which gives incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. He then blasts toward the enemy, breaking his/her shield if there is one, and delivers a powerful punch. The shield dissipates shortly after the punch lands. The condition for this Signature Attack is "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!" '''Special Ability: Fire-Shield''' - Tai turns the heat generated from the thruster engines into a shield made of flames, coating the entire mech. This shield can resist energy attacks pretty well and transfer heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforces Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield is active, the mech won't overheat. Note that this shield differs from the energy shield used in Nova Strike, and they do not stack on top of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Lain Argyle|Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Void Moss#Tejfidh|Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

The armor plated on top of them were much tougher compared to the rest of the Mech. The palms contained mini-cannons which could shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the Mech were colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, The Mech's head was completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=6 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 | Signature=Nova Strike | Spells= | Spark=Fire-Shield }} Tai's Mech was a SMD build whose powerful thrusters gave him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. It's fists were absolute jawbreakers, and on top of the velocity the rockets gave, the fists could deal devastating damage upon impact. It had minimal firepower, as the flame cannons on top of the chest could not actually be aimed, and only served as a way to repel enemy approaches, and the mini-cannons in the palms served the same purpose. Though his cannons' power was low, their fire rate was exceedingly high. Tai's special ability was "Fire-Shield", which allowed him to take the heat generated from his thruster engines and turn it into a shield made of flames, coating his entire Mech. This shield offered excellent resistance against energy attacks and transferred high levels of heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforced Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield was active, the Mech wouldn't overheat, but Tai still employed heatproof armoring to prevent backwards flow when the Fire-Shield was activated. This armoring was somewhat decent against other energy forms, but fared poorly against physical strikes. His Signature was Nova Strike, wherein Tai turned his thrusters to maximum power and converted the heat into a powerful energy shield that gave incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. Following this he would blast toward the enemy, breaking any shielding they employed and delivering a powerful punch. Tai's own shield would dissipate shortly after the punch landed. The condition for this Signature Attack was "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!". Though they were both heat-based energy shields, Nova Strike and Fire-Shield were not actually the same thing, and could not stack atop of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the plane of Gluttony, a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after founding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Lain Argyle|Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Void Moss#Tejfidh|Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

However, her biggest issues are the fact that she has a fairly terrible case of kleptomania, and is absolutely terrible with directions. In the case of her kleptomania, it is something she cannot control, generally flaring up when around small, unimportant objects. She, personally, hates it, and tries to keep it hidden as best as she can. She also suffers from a lack of self-worth. == Appearance == Grima is a 5’5” woman, possessing a more athletic build with a pale complexion, black hair cut into a simplistic bob cut, and dull red eyes. Her outfits tend to be simplistic and street looking, her favorite being a plain white shirt and jeans combo, complimented by a pocketless jacket, generally left unbuttoned. == Mech == Valkyrie was a MAD build focused on pure melee combat, slow but extremely hard hitting if one were to challenge her in her field. The mech itself took the form of a mass of grey armor to make the pilot resemble a knight, and came equipped with a regular sword and a heavily reinforced shield, possessing both a force field projector and temperature regulation. Her unique ability, "Heartbeat", allows Grima to speed up her perception of time, basically giving her more time to think and react to threats. However, she can only use this ability for five seconds per fight, as the ability puts an immense strain on her physical body. {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=5 | Firepower=0 | Armor=8 | Signature= Void | Spark= Heartbeat }} == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 4e974f9f74bdbfc97314e74e680eadf11bb738d1 0 68 295 198 2020-01-08T03:23:15Z Sutoratosu 30579396 thanks for the lore, Lexi ;) wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character |alias=Arcturus |names=Nuri, Prince of Stars, Satan, Khepri, Hou Yi, Karna, Achilles, Devin West |age=Unknown |gender=Male |job=Diplomat (retired)}} [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == {{MechStats | System= | Speed= | Melee= | Firepower= | Armor= | Signature= | Spells= | Spark= }} == Life == Arcturus was born in sub-saharan Africa on [[The Sphere|the Sphere]]sometime during the early bronze age.

Growing up, Merlin was an avid reader of the newspaper, and was often regaled with the exploits of popular mages of her time (given that by this period, knowledge of magic had become common). She was also enamored with fantasy and folklore, most notably the Arthurian Romance. As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a famous mage. As a young woman, however, Merlin was impeded in this dream due to initially lacking any sign of magical potential, resulting in every university she approached denying her entry as a student. Seeking a way past this obstacle, she would eventually discover Paganism, and through its various magicks both became the Second Prince, and unlocked her spark. Given her Spark's power, which allowed her to cast any spell she had managed to successfully even once without the need to concentrate, she was soon begrudgingly accepted into a university. She proved a dutiful study, and due to being one of the few women of the era talented enough in the arcane arts to be admitted she... ''saw great progress'' in her career, eventually becoming a professor. Her tenure would not be a peaceful one however, as though she played the part of the dutiful and well behaved student, in her new position she relished causing mischief for her peers. Her students received outstanding grades, but her conduct was intolerable, thus the University decided to remove her. She was soon picked up by yet another university however, owing to the stellar marks of her previous class, and there she would presumably stay. During this time, she met and work with the enigmatic [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]], who was then masquerading as an ordinary professor. She would not know Watcher's significance until the 20th century when she would encounter him again and note that he was still very much alive for a man who should be at least several hundred years old. Sometime prior to the first World War, Merlin embarked on a personal crusade to uncover the identity of [[Arcturus|The First Prince]]. She spent the entirety of the World Wars, and presumably a while after, hunting down and interrogating hermits in the mountains. Following the wars, the Earth's magical eco-system began to die due to the wanton misuse of magic for destructive purposes throughout the conflicts. It was then that Merlin again found Watcher, learned of his true power and that he alone could save humanity, if only he had the mind to. Merlin took it upon herself to convince him, uncovering an ancient artifact known as "Pandora's box", which was actually a locket that could store the favor of others. Using it, she collected the hopes and dreams of those with hope still alive in their hearts during such a dire time, and presented them all to Watcher. Moved by the sentiments he witnessed in that moment, Watcher took action and carried what few survivors he could to [[Tempest|a new (or perhaps, old?) home for humanity]], sealing his own hope inside Pandora's box shortly thereafter.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma.

Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

'''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which prompts her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, ===Chapter 2: Lust=== ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person.

He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence ===Chapter 2: Lust=== ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become.

The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person.

His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends.

Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' '''Strider vs. Revenant''' ===Chatper 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP.

As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' '''Strider vs. Revenant''' ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person.

Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly.

She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island.

Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant.

They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena.

'''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup.

This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly.

Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

This was an extremely difficult task, and required a great deal of concentration to craft anything more complex than a melee weapon and some armor. But given time, experts could form mechs that actually lived up to the name. [[Tobias Hartford|Sleeping Bear]] is considered a genius for his extremely complex mech design, which he crafted entirely through meditation. ==Divination System== To make mechs more accessible, [[Leonard Davidson|the Diviner]] and [[Velma Davidson|his wife]], created a system to allow for more precise control over mech design. By taking a small bit of Favor from a person, it can be programmed directly in the Divination System. Once a mech design is finalized, the programmed Favor is injected back into the person it came from, with the new design rapidly spreading throughout their dream space and overwriting the previous one. This system also comes with some failsafes and safety features to reduce the risk of injury to the pilot. Most notable among these is what's know as the acceleration glitch. When rapidly accelerating, a Divination-based mech will momentarily phase into the [[Kenoma|space between space]], careful execution of this technique can allow a skilled pilot to effectively teleport short distances.

She is known for being emotional and impulsive, and she tends to act without thinking things through. Due to her rash behavior and hands-free approach to godhood, her relationship with the other gods has been known to be strenuous at best. Much of her character and actions are driven by the fact that she was born completely blind. Appears in [[The Tenth God]], [[The First Witch]], and [[The Dishonesty of Human Eyes]] ==Personality== Having been kept down throughout her life due to the circumstances of her birth, Blink developed an extremely combative personality. She has a deep-seated need to prove herself, and refuses to give up on any challenge until she's conquered it. She's far from straight-laced, being perfectly willing to bend the rules wherever it suits her. Blink tends to be rather opinionated, and tied with her foul mouth this causes her to come off as standoffish more often than not. ==Appearance== Short and flat with an almost childish physique and androgynous facial features, at first glance one might think Blink is an adolescent boy. She has medium skin with dark red freckles, especially prevalent on her cheeks and forearms. Her small round eyes are a soft caramel brown. And her dirty blonde hair is short and unkempt, adding heavily to her tomboyish appearance. When not dressed for combat, she wears a golden ball gown that contrasts heavily with the rest of her appearance, though she makes up for it by remaining barefoot. Often she can be seen pretending to play on an antique game system, though she never even bothers to turn it on. ==Mech Design== {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=15 | Melee=0 | Firepower=0 | Armor=0 | Signature=Assassinate | Spark=Momentum }} ==Life== Blink lost hard when it came to the lottery of birth. If it wasn't bad enough to be born to extremely poor parents, she also came into the world completely blind. Most of her early life was spent performing odd jobs for pocket change. And although she proved herself capable and resourceful time and again, her status meant that any attempt to use that change for anything more than basic necessity would result in punishment from those more fortunate. The one luxury she was afforded was a shoddy violin, although Blink saw it as a chore. Her father made her practice every day, and allowed her little freedom to do anything else. His hope was that one day her talent would earn her a better life. Unfortunately, after his abrupt death, Blink was forced to find another path to a better life. Despite her stunted growth, she'd become very attractive, and one of her former tormentors, Sanders, had offered her mother a servant's position in his household so long as Blink served as his trophy. It was humiliating, but Blink was given little choice. ==Role== ==Relationships== ===Sarah Argyle=== Blink and Seeker are very close friends. Both have very harsh personalities and find it hard to open up to others, but the two have come to rely on one another for emotional support. Seeker seems to be the only one of the gods who truly understands Blink, and often stands alone in defending the Fifth God's actions. ===Tobias Hartford=== While most of the other gods dislike Blink, she has an understanding of sorts with Bear, who often comes to her defense politically. The two often cooperate economically as well as working together to help deal with rogue science groups from time to time.

Despite her stunted growth, she'd become very attractive, and one of her former tormentors, Sanders, had offered her mother a servant's position in his household so long as Blink served as his trophy. It was humiliating, but Blink was given little choice. Worst of all was the presence of [[Thomas Helbright]], another of Blink's tormentors who continued to torment her in increasingly vile manners during this time of her life. It was his actions that eventually led her to flee from Envy, leaving her mother behind to an unknown fate. Blink's life was not entirely made of misery, however. She had friends like [[Faerie Myriad]], a slightly better-off resident of Envy who Blink often relied on for emotional support, and [[Malcolm Bannister|Hardball]], who helped her find a home after she fled to Lust. It was the latter of these who introduced Blink to mech combat, and served as her sparring partner during her years in Lust. It was here that blink developed many of the strategies that would get her labeled as a cheater later in life. This was also around that time that Seeker ascended to become God of Lust, and this event spurred Blink to action, finally confirming that Lord wasn't a unique event. With new information and new techniques under her belt, Blink returned to Envy where she quickly made a name for herself by accepting all challengers, especially those backed by the council. Soon enough Blink was viewed by many as a sort of folk hero, a poor blind girl cast out by the elitist council who had returned as a vengeful spirit hell bent on tearing down everything that council stood for. Winning match after match and growing more and more popular, it became inevitable that Blink would become the God of Envy. And once she had done so, she took her newfound power to the council, declaring herself Envy's new ruler and attacking the council members directly. She singled out Thomas and gouged out his eye as revenge for everything he had done to her, marking the final step in her triumph. After this, she established a new set of rules for Envy, rules which she believed would prevent anyone from suffering the same way she had. ==Role== ==Relationships== ===Sarah Argyle=== Blink and Seeker are very close friends.

Rather than creators or forces of nature, the gods of Tempest are humans who..." wikitext text/x-wiki One of the most interesting properties of the Planes of [[Tempest]] is the existence of its gods. Rather than creators or forces of nature, the gods of Tempest are humans who have surpassed the limits of their humanity. The method through which they are chosen is largely unknown, and even those who have gone through the process have very little understanding of it. All that can be said for certain is that when one is ready to become a god, they are whisked away from reality by a mysterious breeze which announces their ascension. Once a god is chosen, very little changes. Though the gods are recognized throughout Tempest as having some power in their respective Planes, this is a choice by the people and has little to do with any actual power (beyond that which they used to acquire the role). Their Plane does grant them one special ability: they can only be attacked in direct, one on one combat. It is impossible to assassinate a god. They also receive slowed aging, much like the [[Princes of Magic]], although for the gods it operates differently. A god's bodily aging will be slowed by half until their numerical age doubles from when they became a god, at which point it will be quartered for the next numerical doubling, and this will continue until after 1/6th their aging will cease entirely. This is why gods who ascended at young ages, such as [[Joshua King|Queen]] and [[Victoria McKay|Lord]], still appear very young even into their 30s and 40s.

She entered the competition under the alias of "LOLI_HUNTER", and held the seventh seat. == Personality == Obsessed with all things cute, Kagari might seem childish at first. She holds a very black and white view of the world, although her idea of what black and white are would be considered by most to be rather skewed. She proudly proclaims that she is out to seduce young girls, and will not hesitate to shrug off accusations of immorality. She happily galivants around searching for cute things to collect and cute girls to creep on, and will rarely break from this attitude even in the most serious of times. But when the gloves come off, Kagari reveals her much more sinister nature, becoming a calm and collected type who quietly analyzes her surroundings, looking for openings to get what she wants. Everything she does has a purpose, even her apparent attempts to molest children serve to further her true goal. Kagari Koizumi cares only for one thing: Absolute control. == Appearance == Long brown hair held up in a ponytail by blue butterfly hairclips. Small black eyes that make it hard to tell exactly where she’s looking, even more so when she chooses to wear sunglasses. Being a resident of Lust, she’s prone to wearing very little, generally prancing around as scantily clad as her current location will legally allow. Should she feel the situation warrants it, Kagari will put on a more serious outfit that is nearly the opposite of her normal attire. She dons a long sleeved white turtleneck, a reddish-brown double breasted vest, striped brown slacks, black dress shoes, and a blue butterfly cape. == Mech == {{MechStats | System= | Speed=4 | Melee=6 | Firepower=4 | Armor=3 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Huntsman }} Kagari's mech is a very spider-like monstrosity built to gain an upper hand and keep it, allowing Kagari total dominance of the battlefield. It achieves this with a versatile arsenal of venomous melee weapons and support fire from its bits, eventually filling the field with various points from which to activate her Spark, which can link any of her weapons, bits, or mech with extremely tough cables, weaving a web of cables across the battlefield to restrain her foes and let her go in for the kill. == Life == Though born during the height of Lust's success, Kagari's life was far from that height. She suffered extensive abuse from her father, whose cruelty was boundless. The things she went through in this time trapped her mind in her brutal childhood, leading to her skewed sense of morality. Eventually her father died, and Kagari found herself set free into the now corrupted Lust as it collapsed. Yet to Kagari, this version of Lust was ideal, and she drowned herself in its pleasures as she tried to escape the harshness of reality. At some point during this time, she discovered mech combat, and her deeper ambition was born. Becoming a powerful mech combatant, her strength and ambition eventually grew to such a degree that she was able to enter the Tournament. == Role == WIP == Relationships == WIP [[Category:Characters]] 1f48533bdff2f20e416a0efd1ec84739b918adcc 0 91 319 2020-01-15T18:38:46Z KosherKitten 30496449 Created page with "Originally a difficult martial art practiced as a part of [[Plane of Pride|Pride]] culture, the creation of [[Mechs#Divination System|the Divination System]] made mech combat..." wikitext text/x-wiki Originally a difficult martial art practiced as a part of [[Plane of Pride|Pride]] culture, the creation of [[Mechs#Divination System|the Divination System]] made mech combat significantly more accessible, and it grew into a widespread and popular sport. Now practiced throughout [[Tempest]], it serves as a central piece of culture and recreation across the Planes. ==Rules== Due to the protection of [[Favor]], mech combat can still be safe even with rules that are just shy of "anything goes." With that said, some fundamental rules do exist. Until 34EG, none of these rules were applicable to [[Plane of Envy|Envy]]. # No murder. The result of official mech combat may never be the death of any party # spectators must not be harmed under any circumstances. # Fights may be stopped by the gods, regardless of whether they were involved in starting it or not. # Fights are won when a foe cannot continue because of passing out, cannot continue because their mech has been destroyed or dissipated, or will not continue because they wish to forfeit. # If both parties agree to it, a fight may be decided by deliberation from a certified delegate. This rule is rarely used, so very few delegates exist. Individual tournaments and organizations may have their own rules, but they are typically derivative of these. Prior to the establishment of an [[AMC|official governing body]] for the sport, the official in charge of all rules pertaining to mech combat was [[Jefferson Carlisle]]. ==Arenas== All official mech combat matches are fought in arenas with spherical forcefields around them to minimize the risk of danger to spectators. Usually the ground level of the arena is at the halfway point of this forcefield. The standard arena is a stone floor that slopes downward slightly, but many events use specialty arenas to spice things up.

She entered the competition under the alias of "Slumbering Giant" and initially held the 2nd seat in the tourney. == Personality == Mommo was highly intelligent, cunning and motivated while awake. Unfortunately however, she seldom was, as she preferred to spend her days doing as little as possible. Her laziness was so pervasive that she only tended to her bodily needs when absolutely necessary, and even when she wasn't busy sleeping she would often just lie still loathing about. She even built her mech in such a way to minimize her necessary motions in battle. The only times she ever actively did something was if doing so would allow her to laze about even more afterwards. She could be notably cold and pragmatic in these rare cases, likely stemming from her crankiness after being forced to wake up and act. == Appearance == Mommo was a petite woman barely standing at 4'9" and weighing in at 37 Kg. She had dark hair done up in a bob-cut hair, and her petite stature combined round, child-like cheeks made it hard to determine her true age. Her silver eyes were perpetually half-shut due to her drowsy nature. They shined with a surprising intellect and lucidity however, belying Mommo's true nature. She usually dressed in a simple, black dress and unfitting sock-slippers. She carried a unsettling teddy-bear pillow with herself wherever she went. == Mech == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=1 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=Earthquake | Spells= | Spark=Drop Armor }} Mommo's mech was an extremely heavy FAO build which was best described as a (barely) mobile artillery station. It used it's signature, Earthquake, to slam into the ground with its full weight and destabilize the arena's terrain and impede the mobility of speed based mechs. This signature's trigger relied on Mommo's opponent dodging her cluster grenades a certain number of times, which made it extremely easy for her to trigger when needed as most speed mechs would have little trouble doing so. Her special ability, Drop Armor, allowed Mommo to change her build from a FAO to a SFO by dropping her armor once it became heavily damaged. This raised her speed significantly, but also left her incredibly vulnerable and disabled her signature. == Life == Little is known of Mommo's life before the Tourney. She probably spent most of it sleeping though. == Role == == Relationships == ===Aries=== Aries reached out to Mommo early on in the tournament, and the two developed a close relationship. Eventually agreeing to pursue a potential life together after the tournament.

Appearance wise, it was a towering juggernaut of a machine, plated in layers of sleek, nigh reflective white armor. It's shoulders were bulky and elongated to fine tips while it's arms and legs were each lined with numerous oval discharge ports and accenting filled with violet, crackling light. It's chest sloped outward away from the curve of it's torso, before cutting back at a quick 45 degrees to form a triangular projection bearing twin violet flood lights, as well as serving as auxiliary storage space. It's visored helm burned with otherwordly radiance, while it's auxiliary-Comm and radar array projected from the back of it's head and into the air shortly above at a 45 degree angle, reminiscent of a radiant, white horn. Her spark, Electro-Breaker, allowed her to freely control electrons and force them into a normally impossible "Schrodinger" state where they acted like neither waves or particles. While in this state, Tesla could fire said electrons as high speed, highly destructive beams which were easily capable of both penetrating and melting thick armor. By the time of her disappearance, she had developed enough precision over this process that she could even use her spark to form constructs out of these Schrodinger electrons. It also granted her a considerable control over electromagnetic phenomenon. The fusion reactor that powered the Mech was capable of producing countless gigawatts of electricity for use with her spark. This Electricity would be output through the various ports on the Mech's body. Her fire power was further bolstered by the missile bays and cluster grenades concealed in her Mech's shoulders that, while lacking in the raw power of her electron death rays, were quite numerous and would still do considerable damage to most targets. She additionally had thousands of metal ball bearings hidden in compartments throughout her Mech which could be released and fired with electromagnetic propulsion rivaling that of a rail gun. Her armor plating was composed of several layers of a light-weight, high-strength alloy she designed herself. In between each of the layers was a suite of gyroscopes, inertia dampeners, and various modules for compensation of extreme heat and pressure to further increase Tesla's defensive power against all forms of conventional attacks. Tesla's ingenuity with the design of her armor allowed her mech to remain light enough to hover and be propelled at decent speeds by the electromagnetic force produced by her spark and the reactor. == Life == == Role == == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 1f1a538f5c06bcc0431cdef8cd24b530aeee8449 345 344 2020-01-22T20:51:39Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{TFW}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Tesla Ryke | age = 7 (TPoS)<br>33 (TTG) | gender = Female | alias = Nikolai | names = B287 (Lab Code) | sin = Envy<br>Wrath | job = Vigilante<br>Tinkerer | family = David Ryke (Adoptive Father)<br>Solomon Ryke (Adoptive Brother)<br>Adam (Biological Brother) }} [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == ===TTG=== {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=4 | Melee=0 | Firepower=7 | Armor=6 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark= Electro-Breaker }} Prior to her vanishing over a decade before the Nil Crisis, Tesla employed an FAO Mech which focused on raining down relentless barrages of both energy and physical weapons upon her foes.

Rather than creators or forces of nature, the gods of Tempest are humans who have surpassed the limits of their humanity. The method through which they are chosen is largely unknown, and even those who have gone through the process have very little understanding of it. All that can be said for certain is that when one is ready to become a god, they are whisked away from reality by a mysterious breeze which announces their ascension. Once a god is chosen, very little changes. Though the gods are recognized throughout Tempest as having some power in their respective Planes, this is a choice by the people and has little to do with any actual power (beyond that which they used to acquire the role). Their Plane does grant them one special ability: they can only be attacked in direct, one on one combat. It is impossible to assassinate a god. They also receive slowed aging, much like the [[Princes of Magic]], although for the gods it operates differently. A god's bodily aging will be slowed by half until their numerical age doubles from when they became a god, at which point it will be quartered for the next numerical doubling, and this will continue until after 1/16th their aging will cease entirely. This is why gods who ascended at young ages, such as [[Joshua King|Queen]] and [[Victoria McKay|Lord]], still appear very young even into their 30s and 40s.

Those with a magic alignment are carefree and whimsical, living in the moment and doing their best to enjoy themselves. They are ideal as problem solvers. Unsurprisingly, this alignment is tied to magic as a system as well, and the magic system's extreme versatility reflects this. ===Light=== The ultimate destructive force, the light alignment is filled with the obsessed, self-loathing, and spiteful.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' Pending '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' Pending '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Pending '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Pending ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily.

He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight.

Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' Pending '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, fights on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Pending '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Pending ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' Pending '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Pending '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Pending ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Pending '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Pending ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Pending ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' In Progress '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' In Progress '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' {{RetconWarning}} After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' In Progress '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' In Progress '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== {{RetconWarning}} ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' In Progress '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' In Progress '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== {{RetconWarning}} ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. Meanwhile, an irate Solomon heads to the Diviner's car after a discussion with Asmoedus about the previous match. He enters in the midst of a heated discussion between the Diviner and a woman Sully recognizes as Lord, seemingly about the reckless actions of Adam and their potential causes. They eventually mention a man named Arcturus, and note Sully as their only chance at finding him. Lord explains that Adam has been acting recklessly due to Ice Griffyn ascending to godhood before him, then reveals that he is Tesla's brother. Solomon doesn't believe this initially, noting the obvious dissimilarities in their appearances, unless they were genetically modified somehow. Lord confirms this, then explains the existence of rogue science groups and their experimentation on their own children, Tesla and Adam both being products of this. Morgan then appears in the room, stopping Lord from continuing. Solomon insists that she continue regardless of Morgan's interruptions or apologies, expressing his incredulous horror at learning what the groups had been doing. He realizes that Tesla had been fighting them, and asks how many of the operations existed throughout Tempest. Lord tells him that there are fifteen major organizations and a couple dozen smaller groups, comprising about five thousand people total. She explains the difficulty in tracking them down with the looming threat of the Tenth God, and that they've been working with another group to locate them. Solomon asks for more information about them, and Lord refuses to answer for the moment. She tells him that they need him to help with Arcturus, who tends to delete himself from people's memories, as he could help defeat the Tenth God. Solomon asks how he does what he does, and how it would help them achieve victory if that's his main talent. Lord informs Solomon that Arcturus hiding himself is a recent development, and says that she'll arrange a meeting between them. Meanwhile, Morgan and Mommo have a short conversation before modifying their mechs with the Diviner. After everyone leaves, the Diviner uses a device similar to the one he used on Tai earlier to speak with Cardinal once more. She reacts happily, and he dampens her enthusiasm by saying he's merely considering that she may be right. He continues by saying she is wrong regardless of whether she tells the truth, and Cardinal says she has been wondering about that herself. Leonard tells her that what she is doing will certainly cause a catastrophic imbalance, enraging her into angrily screaming about everyone wanting to stop and work something out now that she's found a way to help herself. She continues more calmly after the Diviner's clear shock, saying that she will not be stopped, even by the Devil. Leonard says he wouldn't try, as he serves his own interest, and then states his belief that a tournament fighter will find a way to match her. This causes her to angrily leave the conversation once more. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' In Progress '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' In Progress '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== {{RetconWarning}} ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. Meanwhile, an irate Solomon heads to the Diviner's car after a discussion with Asmoedus about the previous match. He enters in the midst of a heated discussion between the Diviner and a woman Sully recognizes as Lord, seemingly about the reckless actions of Adam and their potential causes. They eventually mention a man named Arcturus, and note Sully as their only chance at finding him. Lord explains that Adam has been acting recklessly due to Ice Griffyn ascending to godhood before him, then reveals that he is Tesla's brother. Solomon doesn't believe this initially, noting the obvious dissimilarities in their appearances, unless they were genetically modified somehow. Lord confirms this, then explains the existence of rogue science groups and their experimentation on their own children, Tesla and Adam both being products of this. Morgan then appears in the room, stopping Lord from continuing. Solomon insists that she continue regardless of Morgan's interruptions or apologies, expressing his incredulous horror at learning what the groups had been doing. He realizes that Tesla had been fighting them, and asks how many of the operations existed throughout Tempest. Lord tells him that there are fifteen major organizations and a couple dozen smaller groups, comprising about five thousand people total. She explains the difficulty in tracking them down with the looming threat of the Tenth God, and that they've been working with another group to locate them. Solomon asks for more information about them, and Lord refuses to answer for the moment. She tells him that they need him to help with Arcturus, who tends to delete himself from people's memories, as he could help defeat the Tenth God. Solomon asks how he does what he does, and how it would help them achieve victory if that's his main talent. Lord informs Solomon that Arcturus hiding himself is a recent development, and says that she'll arrange a meeting between them. Meanwhile, Morgan and Mommo have a short conversation before modifying their mechs with the Diviner. After everyone leaves, the Diviner uses a device similar to the one he used on Tai earlier to speak with Cardinal once more. She reacts happily, and he dampens her enthusiasm by saying he's merely considering that she may be right. He continues by saying she is wrong regardless of whether she tells the truth, and Cardinal says she has been wondering about that herself. Leonard tells her that what she is doing will certainly cause a catastrophic imbalance, enraging her into angrily screaming about everyone wanting to stop and work something out now that she's found a way to help herself. She continues more calmly after the Diviner's clear shock, saying that she will not be stopped, even by the Devil. Leonard says he wouldn't try, as he serves his own interest, and then states his belief that a tournament fighter will find a way to match her. This causes her to angrily leave the conversation once more. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem Kagari and Adam get into the arena without fanfare, initially standing off from each other. Adam sizes the HUNTER up, but Kagari is simply preparing for the battle. The fight begins with Kagari drawing her sword and lunging, which Silent Requiem catches in his armor, before rotating in an attempt to wrench it away while slicing out with a blade. Kagari pulls away, drawing two more swords before resuming the attack. Adam rolls out of the way and tries to disengage, but Kagari drops her swords and pulls a pair of javelins with cables attached to them, trying to harpoon the mech while her drones laid down suppressing fire. The suppressing fire wasn’t threatening to heavy armor, but the javelins were. Silent Requiem dodged, but the rough terrain blocked his movement too much and one landed. The HUNTER seizes the opportunity, pulling herself in to her opponent with one hand and equipping a pile bunker in the other, putting it to the armor to try and break it at point blank. It shoved right through the armor and out the other side, luckily not hitting anything vital but still a clear threat. Adam abruptly stopped trying to roll away from Kagari and starts moving towards her, trying to either crush her under his bulk or at the least force her to evade. He succeeded, bringing the match to a surprisingly quick end. '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' Still reeling from the disappearance of Asmodeus, Solomon has a chat with what seems to be some kind of manifestation of his inner demons, which urges him to let it out. He starts to consider it as he sizes up the Slumbering Giant. Meanwhile, Mommo gets ready for the fight - the Revenant is a dangerous opponent but not an insurmountable one. The fight begins as the Slumbering Giant opens fire, starting with a large energy blast aimed directly at the Revenant, followed by firing a swarm of missiles to block off escape routes. As “the beast” inside of Sully takes control, the Revenant surges into motion. The energy burst is avoided while a blast of electricity intercepts and detonates the rocket barrage, kicking up a large amount of dust and concealing the mechs from each other. Solomon uses his opponent’s electronic signature to track them through the dust, taking Asmodeus’ usual role while his “beast” and taunts the Slumbering Giant. Mommo, while more than a little freaked out, remains mostly calm; rather than charging forward, she launches a series of mines in a circle around herself, a trap should the Revenant charge forward, and prepares her cannons once again. Unfortunately for the Slumbering Giant, Solomon notices the mines with his sensors - and because they’re metal, he can work with them. The Revenant strafes for a bit, making sure that Mommo really doesn’t know where he is, before lifting up the mines and tossing them back with his mech’s magnetic powers - or would have, if they didn’t detonate immediately when disturbed, both preventing the attack and telling the Slumbering Giant roughly what direction her opponent was in. The return fire misses however, as the Revenant had never stopped moving. It was time to fight seriously - Solomon stops resisting his “beast”, falling into a strange trance that leaves his mind moving a mile a minute. He floods the battlefield with electromagnetism in a tesla pulse at full power, scrambling everything electronic in the vicinity. Mommo remains calm, despite her mech being temporarily disabled, and prepares for what’s coming. The challenge in his opponent sets Solomon off - he appears to activate some strange state enhancing his abilities, but rapidly degrading his mech; he’s got about fifteen seconds to end the fight after he turns it on. He launches himself at the Slumbering Giant, blasting through the terrain with the force of it, with his giant sawblade whirring so fast that the friction sets it on fire. The attack would be a terrible blow, even for the Giant, if it hit; but Mommo didn’t plan to let it. Her minefield detonates, probably hurting the Revenant and more importantly warning her of his approach even with her sensors down. She then aimed her cannon down at the ground and fired. The shockwave is powerful enough to break the Revenant’s charge and set the entire arena shaking, threatening to collapse on itself. Solomon, in his berserk fury, is not shaken, immediately launching himself back at Mommo and using his teleport to rapidly close the gap, blade spinning and coming for blood in a hail-mary blow: it was simple; if he landed the hit, he would win. If the Slumbering Giant survived it or avoided it, she would win. There was no time left on the berserker mode. It lands, rapidly stripping it’s way through layer after layer of armor, down to the core - which, unfortunately for him, was specifically built against just this kind of weapon; as the other layers broke and shattered Mommo blasted away, leaving the Revenant behind to break apart. Luckily for him, Asmodeus returns at last, and takes over the mech at the last second to fling him clear of the cave in. '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her. [[Category:Roleplays]] b1a61c6cf31595b95b84bfd4bc3d7c4b727cfcda 376 375 2020-02-19T14:36:35Z Twinwolf 30601758 wikitext text/x-wiki '''The Tenth God''' was the original roleplay that started the series. Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== {{RetconWarning}} ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. Meanwhile, an irate Solomon heads to the Diviner's car after a discussion with Asmoedus about the previous match. He enters in the midst of a heated discussion between the Diviner and a woman Sully recognizes as Lord, seemingly about the reckless actions of Adam and their potential causes. They eventually mention a man named Arcturus, and note Sully as their only chance at finding him. Lord explains that Adam has been acting recklessly due to Ice Griffyn ascending to godhood before him, then reveals that he is Tesla's brother. Solomon doesn't believe this initially, noting the obvious dissimilarities in their appearances, unless they were genetically modified somehow. Lord confirms this, then explains the existence of rogue science groups and their experimentation on their own children, Tesla and Adam both being products of this. Morgan then appears in the room, stopping Lord from continuing. Solomon insists that she continue regardless of Morgan's interruptions or apologies, expressing his incredulous horror at learning what the groups had been doing. He realizes that Tesla had been fighting them, and asks how many of the operations existed throughout Tempest. Lord tells him that there are fifteen major organizations and a couple dozen smaller groups, comprising about five thousand people total. She explains the difficulty in tracking them down with the looming threat of the Tenth God, and that they've been working with another group to locate them. Solomon asks for more information about them, and Lord refuses to answer for the moment. She tells him that they need him to help with Arcturus, who tends to delete himself from people's memories, as he could help defeat the Tenth God. Solomon asks how he does what he does, and how it would help them achieve victory if that's his main talent. Lord informs Solomon that Arcturus hiding himself is a recent development, and says that she'll arrange a meeting between them. Meanwhile, Morgan and Mommo have a short conversation before modifying their mechs with the Diviner. After everyone leaves, the Diviner uses a device similar to the one he used on Tai earlier to speak with Cardinal once more. She reacts happily, and he dampens her enthusiasm by saying he's merely considering that she may be right. He continues by saying she is wrong regardless of whether she tells the truth, and Cardinal says she has been wondering about that herself. Leonard tells her that what she is doing will certainly cause a catastrophic imbalance, enraging her into angrily screaming about everyone wanting to stop and work something out now that she's found a way to help herself. She continues more calmly after the Diviner's clear shock, saying that she will not be stopped, even by the Devil. Leonard says he wouldn't try, as he serves his own interest, and then states his belief that a tournament fighter will find a way to match her. This causes her to angrily leave the conversation once more. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' Kagari and Adam get into the arena without fanfare, initially standing off from each other. Adam sizes the HUNTER up, but Kagari is simply preparing for the battle. The fight begins with Kagari drawing her sword and lunging, which Silent Requiem catches in his armor, before rotating in an attempt to wrench it away while slicing out with a blade. Kagari pulls away, drawing two more swords before resuming the attack. Adam rolls out of the way and tries to disengage, but Kagari drops her swords and pulls a pair of javelins with cables attached to them, trying to harpoon the mech while her drones laid down suppressing fire. The suppressing fire wasn’t threatening to heavy armor, but the javelins were. Silent Requiem dodged, but the rough terrain blocked his movement too much and one landed. The HUNTER seizes the opportunity, pulling herself in to her opponent with one hand and equipping a pile bunker in the other, putting it to the armor to try and break it at point blank. It shoved right through the armor and out the other side, luckily not hitting anything vital but still a clear threat. Adam abruptly stopped trying to roll away from Kagari and starts moving towards her, trying to either crush her under his bulk or at the least force her to evade. He succeeded, bringing the match to a surprisingly quick end. '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' Still reeling from the disappearance of Asmodeus, Solomon has a chat with what seems to be some kind of manifestation of his inner demons, which urges him to let it out. He starts to consider it as he sizes up the Slumbering Giant. Meanwhile, Mommo gets ready for the fight - the Revenant is a dangerous opponent but not an insurmountable one. The fight begins as the Slumbering Giant opens fire, starting with a large energy blast aimed directly at the Revenant, followed by firing a swarm of missiles to block off escape routes. As “the beast” inside of Sully takes control, the Revenant surges into motion. The energy burst is avoided while a blast of electricity intercepts and detonates the rocket barrage, kicking up a large amount of dust and concealing the mechs from each other. Solomon uses his opponent’s electronic signature to track them through the dust, taking Asmodeus’ usual role while his “beast” and taunts the Slumbering Giant. Mommo, while more than a little freaked out, remains mostly calm; rather than charging forward, she launches a series of mines in a circle around herself, a trap should the Revenant charge forward, and prepares her cannons once again. Unfortunately for the Slumbering Giant, Solomon notices the mines with his sensors - and because they’re metal, he can work with them. The Revenant strafes for a bit, making sure that Mommo really doesn’t know where he is, before lifting up the mines and tossing them back with his mech’s magnetic powers - or would have, if they didn’t detonate immediately when disturbed, both preventing the attack and telling the Slumbering Giant roughly what direction her opponent was in. The return fire misses however, as the Revenant had never stopped moving. It was time to fight seriously - Solomon stops resisting his “beast”, falling into a strange trance that leaves his mind moving a mile a minute. He floods the battlefield with electromagnetism in a tesla pulse at full power, scrambling everything electronic in the vicinity. Mommo remains calm, despite her mech being temporarily disabled, and prepares for what’s coming. The challenge in his opponent sets Solomon off - he appears to activate some strange state enhancing his abilities, but rapidly degrading his mech; he’s got about fifteen seconds to end the fight after he turns it on. He launches himself at the Slumbering Giant, blasting through the terrain with the force of it, with his giant sawblade whirring so fast that the friction sets it on fire. The attack would be a terrible blow, even for the Giant, if it hit; but Mommo didn’t plan to let it. Her minefield detonates, probably hurting the Revenant and more importantly warning her of his approach even with her sensors down. She then aimed her cannon down at the ground and fired. The shockwave is powerful enough to break the Revenant’s charge and set the entire arena shaking, threatening to collapse on itself. Solomon, in his berserk fury, is not shaken, immediately launching himself back at Mommo and using his teleport to rapidly close the gap, blade spinning and coming for blood in a hail-mary blow: it was simple; if he landed the hit, he would win. If the Slumbering Giant survived it or avoided it, she would win. There was no time left on the berserker mode. It lands, rapidly stripping it’s way through layer after layer of armor, down to the core - which, unfortunately for him, was specifically built against just this kind of weapon; as the other layers broke and shattered Mommo blasted away, leaving the Revenant behind to break apart. Luckily for him, Asmodeus returns at last, and takes over the mech at the last second to fling him clear of the cave in. '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Will probably add more later wikitext text/x-wiki Within the universe of TTG, the Dreamspace is, in essence, one's very soul. It is the place where one draws the fluid favor in order to cast spells, and stores the static favor which sustains a mech; If Favor in both forms is energy created from emotions, then the Dreamspace is both the generator and the battery from which said energy is created and stored for later use. Those who born without a Dreamspace, either due to being the product of cloning or the extremely rare case of just naturally being born without one, are essentially soulless husks devoid of emotion and lacking access to favor. Temperance Lucas is an example of this phenomena, having been naturally born without a Dreamspace and needing a prosthetic one created for her by the Diviner in order to experience emotions and utilize a mech. By accessing the Dreamspace of another, it is possible to access and control their mech within reason. This is demonstrated by the late Wine, former god of Gluttony, who's spark allowed her to merge her Dreamspace with another individual's and do precisely what is described above. Twins are a notable offshoot of this concept, as in the TTG universe, Twins are effectively one soul (ie, one Dreamspace) split among 2 physical bodies. This shared Dreamspace allows twins to share a mech, as well as communicate with one another even over great distances, although the base degree of this communication's efficacy is currently unknown, given the only pair of twins featured in TTG thus far, Artemis and Fowl, were explicitly trained to extend their communication with each other even into other planes. a736a3b3ad4535dd227e263c8035e0bba2845690 373 372 2020-02-18T19:47:31Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki Within the universe of TTG, the Dreamspace is, in essence, one's very soul.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=3 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Fission Core }} The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. This was replaced by a short time by Hellfire Burst, which allowed the mech a sudden burst of speed in any direction, and eventually by the Fusion Core. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated [[Lawrence Lomellian|Ricochet]], [[Adam|Silent Requiem]], [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], and [[Tai|Supernova]] before the tournament's end. This earned her the right to an exhibition match against [[Victoria McKay|Lord.]] The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the False God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the [[Cardinal Losteye|Tenth God]], with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. This began a series of events that derailed the tournament, as it and the ensuring exhibition matches shook the will of the competitors and caused several of the remaining competitors to leave for various reasons. When Hiroki was called to Wrath for the fifth round of the tournament, she heard [[Aries's declaration of war against Tempest. After leaving his audience, she encountered Grima and [[Arcturus]], where the latter issued a challenge to her. Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fusion Core. She had a conversation with Arcturus after he yielded victory, in which he gave her advice about dealing with Watcher and Cardinal before she was whisked away by the former. Watcher explained to her that he intended to raise her as his "hero" by having her defeat Cardinal and save the planes. When she arrived in the false plane of Nil, she tried to sway Cardinal by revealing what Watcher had said to her. Despite this, they did battle, and Cardinal attempted to kill her in desperation after realizing she could not win in a direct fight. Watcher rescued Hiroki, who then refused to strike down Cardinal, prompting him to begin destroying the plane. Hiroki launched an assault on him, and was nearly destroyed when Watcher unleashed a powerful attack. However, Cardinal intervened, absorbing the attack and seemingly dying in the process. She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the true Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's attack, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell [[Sarah Argyle|Sarah]] he loved her. '''TTG 2''' Hiroki appears in her role as the God of Hope, hosting the competitors in the Trial. ==Relationships== Hiroki had a confused relationship with Kagari; the current status of this is unknown, after the latter left the tournament. She has an amicable relationship with Blink, relying on her for advice and defending her to others. Despite their brief interaction, she feels a kinship with Arcturus, viewing him as not unlike a favored uncle or surrogate father figure. She wishes to find Supernova and apologize for the attempt on his life, despite its necessity. She holds a grudge against Adam for his underhanded tactics during their match, though she is attempting to get over this.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Contrary to her elegant appearance, Hiroki is rather jittery and easy to upset, and doesn't appear to handle stress particularly well. However, she's also stubborn (though easily frustrated, this will rarely cause her to actually give up on something) in the extreme, doubly so if it involves winning an argument or otherwise proving herself correct. She's also in possession of a rather fragile ego. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, she's determined to prove that she's at least equal to everyone else, if not better. Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=3 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Fission Core }} The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion.

A complete unknown before Gluttony's selection, she surprised many by fighting her way to the top and eventually becoming the plane's representative. While likely assisted by the Underdog Effect, it's theorized that this was also because the tournament was promoting the kind of growth the Trial is originally intended to cause - supported by the unprecedented ability of hers to manifest a part of her mech on it's own, as well as greater than average skill in actually maintaining her mech via meditation. == Personality == Madeline’s default setting is to puff herself up, try and show pride and confidence in her abilities, sometimes to the point of bluster and rudeness. This is something of a facade. She’s out of place here. She knows it. She knows everyone else knows it. She’s just some no-name from Gluttony standing among giants. Even her mech is built around only taking shots when they can’t fight back.

As a ranged fighter, her primary means of hurting her enemy is her railgun bow, a weapon with a slow rate of fire that more than makes up for it with the speed and power of the projectile. She also has a variety of combat drones that can pepper her enemy with energy attacks, keeping pressure on while she lines up her shots - and more importantly, can act as a conduit for her spells as they can cloak themselves with a similar telltale to the Ethereal Hunter itself, and mask their shots as hers. Her ideal matchup is one in which she never comes face to face with her opponent, taking them down from afar with her railgun-bow while distracting and keeping them off balance with the use of her drones, but of course, most enemies don't want to give her that ideal matchup.

The core of it's fighting style is Maddie's spark, a cloaking field that renders her nearly completely invisible. There is a tell-tale shimmer that appears if she moves at top speed, although she's still rather difficult to make out against the background, but broadly speaking it allows her to hide in all but the most open arenas, and even in those it becomes difficult to figure out precisely where she is. As a ranged fighter, her primary means of hurting her enemy is her railgun bow, a weapon with a slow rate of fire that more than makes up for it with the speed and power of the projectile. She also has a variety of combat drones that can pepper her enemy with energy attacks, keeping pressure on while she lines up her shots - and more importantly, can act as a conduit for her spells as they can cloak themselves with a similar telltale to the Ethereal Hunter itself, and mask their shots as hers. Her ideal matchup is one in which she never comes face to face with her opponent, taking them down from afar with her railgun-bow while distracting and keeping them off balance with the use of her drones, but of course, most enemies don't want to give her that ideal matchup. She doesn't have much capability in melee combat, but she's far from harmless. Her legs charging up kinetic energy as she moves, which can be discharged either to hurt the enemy or launch her away from them, or both, along with reactive armor for the same purpose - her main goal in melee combat is to disengage, helped both by those aspects and by her second spell, an illusory smokescreen. == Life == Not much is publicly known about Maddie's life before the Trial, due to her obscurity. But as she climbed through the ranks in Gluttony's selection, people took an interest and started to dig, managing to at least find her history in mech combat. It's fairly well known that she started her mech fighting at a young age with her dad's enthusiast group, and that she started out with her "mech" being a dinky pistol. She learned to work with the disadvantage though, becoming a crack shot and being good at hiding. Eventually, she started to go for local tournaments and won a couple, gaining enough favor for her mech to become something worthy of the name. A few local tournaments under her belt, she took a shot at Gluttony's selection, a surprise upset victor for her local tournament. And then the next one. And she kept winning, against mechs that had been in the game longer, against those who on paper should have been able to beat her, until she finally ended up as Gluttony's representative. == Role == '''TGG2''' Maddie particpates in the second Trial, as the representative of Gluttony. An unknown who has nonetheless shown herself to be a contender through Gluttony's selection process, she has a lot to live up to. == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] ===Family=== Madeline has a strong relationship with her family on the whole. They went through a lot together, and her bond with her dad and brothers in particular is what got her into mech fighting - and thus to where she is now. She gets homesick sometimes, wishing that they were in Hope with her. But she knows they'll be getting the tapes on every fight, so she has to do her best to put on a good showing. 4c5faf1436dacf5d15776a2f7cf34177bc38ed05 0 1 393 53 2020-02-20T03:12:43Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{MainTemplate | welcome = Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}!''' | blurb = You can put a short description of your wiki here. | about_title = About this site | about_content = Still in infancy.

She is also the 11th Generation Mascot of the [[Erebos Corporation]], debuting in the year 39 AD. == Personality == Neon is the Erebos Corporation’s official mascot, and so she knows very well how to present herself. She’s very energetic, confident, and cheerful in the public, whether it’s on television or fighting in the ring, advertising the company’s products with enthusiasm. However, little is known about her beneath the surface. Words from her past opponents are that when they came into melee range with her, she suddenly felt like an entirely different person - a person that feels real and grim, yet a person that knows very well what she wants for herself, whatever it could be. == Appearance == Neon is rather short for her age. From a distance, her white twintails are immediately apparent. Her green eyes never seem to be at rest for even a moment, yet they barely have any red in them. Neon’s outfit of choice is a business suit crossed with a rather short skirt, with a pair of black ribbons with silver edges binding them together. She also wears a necktie bearing the logo of the Erebos Corporation, in gold outlines. == Mech == == Appearance == Neon’s mech is very much augmented into her body. The core centers around her chest, spreading outwards into her limbs. She wears a very sleek and lightweight combat suit that only seems to provide a bit more protection than her normal outfit. The combat suit also heavily resembles it, with carbon fibers over the synthetic fibers instead. Finally, her gloves and boots are all specifically crafted with hyperconductive metal, beaming blue. The gloves in particular have a compact energy cannon installed, connected to her core. == Stats == {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=0 | Firepower=3 | Armor=6 | Signature=Par[ad]oxysm | Spells= | Spark=Electroreplication }} Neon's mech is a SAU build mainly known for its ability to spice up a match rather than its win-rate. It utilizes electromagnetic levitation and instant shielding to great extents, giving its opponent a hard time accumulating damage over it. It can also fire numerous energy blasts from the energy cannons, accelerated by electricity, though they deal less damage against distant opponents. More reliably, it can unleash rapid electric arcs at nearby opponents, inflicting decent damage. Neon's Spark is Electroreplication. By entering melee distance with the opponent, Neon can manipulate surrounding electrons to scan for one part of their schematics and relay them back to her almost instantly. Then, she can create a lesser replica of it with favor, with potency roughly equal to the mean of her Firepower and the relevant stat of the part, but never exceeding the original. The schematic can be replicated over and over again if need be, but to get a new schematic she has to drop the old one. Neon can create colorful displays using the technique as well, with very lenient restrictions as they’re created on runtime and take little to no memory space. Her Signature, and finisher, is Par[ad]oxysm, a powerful attack with unclear properties. “If Neon and her opponent are making physical contact,” she can invert her remaining electricity and fry through the opponent’s weak spots in an instant, tearing the opponent’s mech apart in a horrific eruption of light and darkness. The attack trades her points in Speed and Armor for Firepower permanently. The less damage Neon’s armor has taken, the more lethal the attack gets.

She is also the 11th Generation Mascot of the [[Erebos Corporation]], debuting in the year 39 AD. == Personality == Neon is the Erebos Corporation’s official mascot, and so she knows very well how to present herself. She’s very energetic, confident, and cheerful in the public, whether it’s on television or fighting in the ring, advertising the company’s products with enthusiasm. However, little is known about her beneath the surface.

Like, really, really hard. As such, he's always wearing a big smile on his face, even when fighting, because he knows he's gonna "reward" himself with excessive partying. Tai is also very energetic due to this. However, throughout the events of [[The Tenth God]], his smile and optimism gradually erodes, as he descends into depression over frustration and hopelessness. == Appearance == A young man with short, red hair and yellow skin. He usually wears an unzipped jacket on top of his white shirt, a pair of sports jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Fitting his personality, his clothing is generally very loose. He's of average height, but his bright smile makes him stand out in a crowd. == Mech Design == === Appearance === Tai's Mech was sleek, allowing swifter movements. Exhaust ports were laid all over the body, preventing overheating from the inside. The chest of the Mech was the biggest part of the Mech, and it housed the Fire-Shield system which powered the Mech. It also had four flame cannons attached to it. The arms and legs of the Mech were completely covered with orange armor plates, with yellow stripes from top to bottom. The back of the Mech was outfitted with powerful thrusters. The Mech's main features, however, were the large and powerful fists, colored in black with orange stripes connecting the joints. The armor plated on top of them were much tougher compared to the rest of the Mech. The palms contained mini-cannons which could shoot out laser blasts. The feet of the Mech were colored in black with a yellow heel. Finally, The Mech's head was completely covered by a red heatproof helmet with a black visor. === Stats === {{MechStats | System=Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=6 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 | Signature=Nova Strike | Spells= | Spark=Fire-Shield }} Tai's Mech was a SMD build whose powerful thrusters gave him incredible speed and handling, on the surface and in the air. It's fists were absolute jawbreakers, and on top of the velocity the rockets gave, the fists could deal devastating damage upon impact. It had minimal firepower, as the flame cannons on top of the chest could not actually be aimed, and only served as a way to repel enemy approaches, and the mini-cannons in the palms served the same purpose. Though his cannons' power was low, their fire rate was exceedingly high. Tai's special ability was "Fire-Shield", which allowed him to take the heat generated from his thruster engines and turn it into a shield made of flames, coating his entire Mech. This shield offered excellent resistance against energy attacks and transferred high levels of heat to the opponent upon physical contact. It also reinforced Tai's fists with flames, powering them up. As long as the Fire-Shield was active, the Mech wouldn't overheat, but Tai still employed heatproof armoring to prevent backwards flow when the Fire-Shield was activated. This armoring was somewhat decent against other energy forms, but fared poorly against physical strikes. His Signature was Nova Strike, wherein Tai turned his thrusters to maximum power and converted the heat into a powerful energy shield that gave incredibly high resistance against energy attacks. Following this he would blast toward the enemy, breaking any shielding they employed and delivering a powerful punch. Tai's own shield would dissipate shortly after the punch landed. The condition for this Signature Attack was "The opponent is in a defensive position and I have enough heat stored!". Though they were both heat-based energy shields, Nova Strike and Fire-Shield were not actually the same thing, and could not stack atop of each other. == Life == Tai was born in the [[plane of Gluttony]], a runaway teenager after his father had gone mad after finding himself in crushing debt, setting the house on fire and killing him and his spouse. As he lurked in city alleys with a belching stomach, he had a fortunate encounter with a homeless man, who taught him the value of working for what you want, and reaping the benefits. Before he became homeless, he was fascinated by mech combat, ever eager to get involved himself. He worked part-time in local restaurants as he saved up money for a mech, sharing a small shelter with the homeless man. After an year of hard work, he took on the professional name "Supernova" and stepped into the local competition scene with a hand-designed mech, vaguely based on his childhood doodles. He would then go on to enjoy moderate success as the fearsome rising star that left his opponent scarred physically and mentally for life, fighting against the meta with an outdated SMD build. With the prize money he had gathered, he was able to afford housing and enjoy a decently well-off life. Before he moved out of the shelter, he gave a portion of his money to the homeless man as a parting gift. Throughout years of professional mech combat, he had fulfilled his materialistic desires by paying equal amounts of hard work in the arena, though when the opportunity to ascend to godhood presented itself, he could not help but accept the tempting offer, ready to pay up the effort needed to come out on top over the many fighters in Tempest. == Role == He was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament, though only enjoying a tasteless victory against Libra. Throughout the tournament, [[Cardinal Losteye]] gradually increased her influence over him. First, she requested him to end the tournament somehow. Then, she stepped in out of the blue during his fight with Libra and shielded him from a blow against his wishes. And then, she crushed him in his rampage against what seemed to be a dirty assassination attempt from Hellfire Knight (in reality, a ploy to lure out Cardinal herself), when he wouldn't listen to her and stop fighting. Afterwards, Tai attempted to make an effort to contribute to the tournament's cause by fighting in an exhibition round against the Gods, only to find himself utterly defeated by [[Lain Argyle|Ice Gryffin]]. The defeat turned out to be the last straw, and Tai quit the tournament amidst frustration and disillusion. On his way home, he was shadowed and eventually cornered and abducted by [[Chronos]]. On the charges of forsaking his responsibilities by partaking in the tournament, Chronos took him to the boundless snowfields of Gluttony and intended to execute him. The attack was, however, suppressed due to Cardinal's intervention once again, and Chronos simply decided to leave him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere. At death's doorsteps, Tai and Cardinal shared their pasts with each other, hoping to reconcile before dying. Then, with Cardinal having used up her time, she disintegrated before his eyes, seemingly vanishing for good. Shortly after, an Ancient by the name of [[Void Moss#Tejfidh|Tejfidh]] took the opportunity and convinced him to become a host of hers, sustaining and guiding him to safety. Chronos attempted to enforce the exile again as he neared the cities, but was convinced that he was wrong in his judgment upon seeing that Tejfidh had rescued him. On their way back, Tejfidh revealed that Cardinal was still alive, giving Tai an opportunity to make up to what was his initial responsibility, being the one who had accepted Cardinal's request in the first place. Hurrying to the next stop of the tournament, the Plane of Envy, to get Cardinal's attention, he was spotted by Aries there and was enlisted in a new conflict between the gods themselves, who had become split on how to deal with the Tenth God. In particular, Tai was made to fight in Aries' faction, instructed to put up a display so Cardinal could see that they weren't willing to give up on her. All the disillusion returned to Tai as he found himself fighting under the gods' orders and rules again, but in the match against Astra (previously Silent Requiem), he finally realized what he should be responsible for before all else - his dreams, which had brought him to the arena in the first place, and went from cold feet into delivering a thrilling finish, in spite of the implications of Aries' instructions. A mutual understanding over the values of the sport was established between the two fighters, and they became friends after the match, leaving the gods' trifles behind altogether. Tai also accepted [[Adam]]'s request and saw Temperance's recovery, and patiently waited for the day when he could make up for what had happened in the tournament with a just rematch. == Relationships == After the events of the Tenth God, Tai holds a certain degree of distance with the gods out of distrust over how they view and use Mech Combat. With Cardinal, he too maintains his distance, though he still genuinely hopes that she succeeds in her endeavors out of respect. Differing from how he was before the tournament, Tai now places more emphasis on getting to know his opponents as people. Becoming fast friends with Adam seems to signal the first step towards that goal.

Although always seemingly tired, Celica is also always seen busying herself with some sort of task, occupying herself with something important during any possible downtime. Ultimately, despite being fairly competitive, Celica never loses her cool, always having a response to any situation, and a word of advice to those that need it. Though most of these traits tell only half of what Celica is truly like, hiding the nature of a prideful and jaded woman, looking down at those around her, and relentless when it came to her goals, unknown to all but herself. == Appearance == Celica is a fairly young, caucasian woman with messy, dirty blonde hair that manages to go all the way down to her hips, her hair also covering a good portion of her eyes due to her bangs. While she does have dark circles under her eyes almost constantly, her eyes still manage to retain a rather vibrant shine to them, despite being brown. Though she was tall once, her inability to walk makes her appear far smaller than she actually is. Her regular outfit consists of a large, dark grey coat, a knee length silver dress underneath, black leggings, and grey shoes. In addition to this, she wears a necklace chained with silver, bearing a carved ruby on full display. == Mech == Sycophant is an inhuman mech that can be loosely described as a giant dog, standing at around five feet and clad in silver armor, as well as possessing large claws and a flexible, razor sharp tail. In addition to this, the unarmored portions of the mech, namely the eyes and joints, bare an eerie red glow to them, but other than that, the mech's design is rather simplistic. Sycophant's combat style is more of an oddity when compared to other SMD builds. Instead of focusing on hit and run tactics to make up for its lack of armor, Sycophant instead opts for a brutal style of combat that involves latching onto its opponent apart before they can get it off. The Mech's single spell allows Sycophant to heat up its own claws, teeth, and tail, allowing it to more easily tear through heavy armor at the cost of making its natural weapons more fragile. Though its lack of armor may leave her open to heavy firepower to prevent it from getting close, the Ezner Mirror can be used to mitigate that weakness, allowing Sycophant to create a lifelike illusion of itself, while also concealing its true self. However, it is not without its flaws, as there are two ways of dealing with the Ezner Mirror: Knowing for sure if what you see is an illusion and making physical contact with Sycophant itself, or having another Spark to counteract the Ezner Mirror directly. However, as physical contact is where Sycophant wants to be, the former can be a double edged sword. {{MechStats | System= Revelation | Speed= 7 | Melee= 6 | Firepower= 0 | Armor= 3 | Spells= 1 | Spark= The Ezner Mirror }} == Life == == Role == Celica participates in the second Trial, representing the plane of Envy, perceived as the weakest among the contenders due to being unable to gain Blink's support before joining. == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 48d64490c0c6f83fe117d06eb7fedae64c4d62cb 0 45 428 381 2020-02-20T15:47:57Z KingMurdoc 30496461 /* Personality */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character |alias=Hellfire Knight |names=Yukimura Hiroki, Heck |age=15 (TTG) 25 (TTG2) |gender=Female |job=Tournament fighter God}} '''Hiroki Yukimura''' was one of the top competitors in a [[Tournament|tournament to become a god]] held across the Planes. She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter and eventually the titular god. ==Personality== Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with said stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. Since her ascension, her nervousness and poor self-esteem have receded somewhat, but are still apparent to those who know her personality. The latter has become more focused on (what she considers to be) concrete metrics as well. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=3 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Fission Core }} The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. This was replaced by a short time by Hellfire Burst, which allowed the mech a sudden burst of speed in any direction, and eventually by the Fission Core, allowing it to temporarily transform into a miniature sun. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated [[Lawrence Lomellian|Ricochet]], [[Adam|Silent Requiem]], [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], and [[Tai|Supernova]] before the tournament's end. This earned her the right to an exhibition match against [[Victoria McKay|Lord.]] The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the False God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the [[Cardinal Losteye|Tenth God]], with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. This began a series of events that derailed the tournament, as it and the ensuring exhibition matches shook the will of the competitors and caused several of the remaining competitors to leave for various reasons. When Hiroki was called to Wrath for the fifth round of the tournament, she heard [[Aries]]'s declaration of war against Tempest. After leaving his audience, she encountered Grima and [[Arcturus]], where the latter issued a challenge to her. Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fission Core. She had a conversation with Arcturus after he yielded victory, in which he gave her advice about dealing with Watcher and Cardinal before she was whisked away by the former. Watcher explained to her that he intended to raise her as his "hero" by having her defeat Cardinal and save the planes. When she arrived in the false plane of Nil, she tried to sway Cardinal by revealing what Watcher had said to her. Despite this, they did battle, and Cardinal attempted to kill her in desperation after realizing she could not win in a direct fight. Watcher rescued Hiroki, who then refused to strike down Cardinal, prompting him to begin destroying the plane. Hiroki launched an assault on him, and was nearly destroyed when Watcher unleashed a powerful attack. However, Cardinal intervened, absorbing the attack and seemingly dying in the process. She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the true Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's attack, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell [[Sarah Argyle|Sarah]] he loved her. '''TTG 2''' Hiroki appears in her role as the God of Hope, hosting the competitors in the Trial. ==Relationships== Hiroki had a confused relationship with Kagari; the current status of this is unknown, after the latter left the tournament. She has an amicable relationship with Blink, relying on her for advice and defending her to others. She feels a kinship with Arcturus, viewing him as not unlike a favored uncle or surrogate father figure. Hiroki occasionally asks him for advice on non-political matters. She wishes to find Supernova and apologize for the attempt on his life, despite its necessity. She holds a lingering grudge against Adam for his underhanded tactics during their match, though she is attempting to get over this and maintains decent relations with him.

Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fission Core. She had a conversation with Arcturus after he yielded victory, in which he gave her advice about dealing with Watcher and Cardinal before she was whisked away by the former. Watcher explained to her that he intended to raise her as his "hero" by having her defeat Cardinal and save the planes. When she arrived in the false plane of Nil, she tried to sway Cardinal by revealing what Watcher had said to her. Despite this, they did battle, and Cardinal attempted to kill her in desperation after realizing she could not win in a direct fight. Watcher rescued Hiroki, who then refused to strike down Cardinal, prompting him to begin destroying the plane. Hiroki launched an assault on him, and was nearly destroyed when Watcher unleashed a powerful attack. However, Cardinal intervened, absorbing the attack and seemingly dying in the process. She renewed her attack despite Watcher's extreme advantage and the existing heavy damage to her mech, and in activating her ability brought the plane into proper existence as the Plane of Hope as the true Tenth God. Her fight with Watcher continued, and while he nearly removed her mech from her entirely, she was able to seize back enough power to stagger him with a final strike, allowing Cardinal to pronounce her judgement upon him. Before Watcher faded away in the aftermath of Cardinal's attack, he gave a cryptic warning to both, as well as a request to tell [[Sarah Argyle|Sarah]] he loved her.

She was better known as the Hellfire Knight, her publicly known alias, going to pains to conceal her true identity, though this disguise was later broken. Her [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] is God Shattering Star. She appears in [[The Tenth God]] as a tournament fighter. ==Personality== Hiroki's personality could be described as a mess of contradictions, particularly taken in with her appearance. Jittery, easily stressed, and poor at coping with said stress, Hiroki was nevertheless stubborn in the extreme. Her reaction to most strangers was suspicion and distrust, if not outright hostility; everyone was perceived as a potential threat, if only to her ego rather than a physical one. Her pursuit of victory in the tournament was tied in with this; she could never quite convince herself of her own talents, and thus sought to prove them by more objective metrics. Despite her relative aggressiveness, she was quite shy and actively avoided social contact with most people. She demonstrated much more composure - though even this was rather imperfect - when challenged in the ring, and donning her disguise seemed to give her a bit more social courage. Since her ascension, her nervousness and poor self-esteem have receded somewhat, but are still apparent to those who know her personality. The latter has become more focused on (what she considers to be) concrete metrics as well. ==Appearance== A girl with fairly light skin and a rather small frame, even for her age, standing at about 4'8" or 142 cm. She had the unusual combination of somewhat large violet eyes and fine, hip-length silver hair. She was about as well-muscled as you'd expect the average fifteen year old teenage girl to be. Overall, her face lent itself to an impression of looking rather refined and aristocratic. She generally wore a dark-colored skirt with a lighter, long-sleeved top, both with violet accents to complement her eyes. She would occasionally pair this with leggings, and if she felt particularly adventurous (a rare occurence) a somewhat shorter than usual skirt. Her voice, while not low in the objective sense, was markedly lower than one might expect from her light frame. When operating under her Hellfire Knight alias, she donned a large, drab cloak that concealed many of her proportions. She also wore a pair of very tall platform shoes, combined with a slightly hunched posture, in an effort to conceal her true height. Completing the disguise was a voice changer mounted on her chin that ran back to her throat; whispering into the device would produce a harsh and clearly artificial version of what she spoke. It did not handle sounds such as gasps or sighs well, blasting listeners with static. ==Mech== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=2 | Melee=3 | Firepower=6 | Armor=6 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Fission Core }} The Hellfire Knight was a FAD mech known for its high volume of plasma-based attacks and balanced armor distribution, and hovered in order to gain unique mobility characteristics (though it was still quite slow and unmaneuverable overall.) The mech was humanoid, with heavy, dark plates of armor and a head sunk into the torso to allow Hiroki to fit within and operate it properly. It bore large plasma cannons on its right hand and both shoulders, with the left hand being a powerful claw for grappling opponents. The most notable feature of the Hellfire Knight was its "wings," twin flexible arrays of guns and thrusters that spread out from either side of the torso. Underneath the plating was a network that carried plasma through the mech, which was exposed when it took severe damage. Its initial special ability was Hellfire Mantle, a shield of plasma that could be discharged as an attack or propulsion. This was replaced by a short time by Hellfire Burst, which allowed the mech a sudden burst of speed in any direction, and eventually by the Fission Core, allowing it to temporarily transform into a miniature sun. ==Life== Hiroki was born on the plane of Greed. She lived in a fairly wealthy family, and rarely lacked materially as she grew up. However, her parents, while not abusive, often ignored their daughter, causing her social maladjustment and need for approval later in life. Mech fighting served as an occupation and outlet, and she quickly built up skill and power as she fought. ==Role== She was one of the competitors to reach the final stage of the tournament. She was [[Amelia Tolvaj|Blink]]'s favorite contestant. She defeated [[Lawrence Lomellian|Ricochet]], [[Adam|Silent Requiem]], [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], and [[Tai|Supernova]] before the tournament's end. This earned her the right to an exhibition match against [[Victoria McKay|Lord.]] The Hellfire Knight attempted to kill Supernova at the request of Blink once the latter had conceded defeat in their match on Greed, as part of a ploy to draw out the False God, who had been aiding Supernova without his consent. The plan succeeded, but Supernova was injured by the [[Cardinal Losteye|Tenth God]], with Hiroki's disguise being compromised in the process. This began a series of events that derailed the tournament, as it and the ensuring exhibition matches shook the will of the competitors and caused several of the remaining competitors to leave for various reasons. When Hiroki was called to Wrath for the fifth round of the tournament, she heard [[Aries]]'s declaration of war against Tempest. After leaving his audience, she encountered Grima and [[Arcturus]], where the latter issued a challenge to her. Though she did not take it up then, she stated her intention to do so later, and followed through after a discussion with the gods on both sides of the conflict. She fought Arcturus to a draw, and during the combat had her potential awakened, changing the special ability of her mech to the Fission Core.

He entered the competition under the name of Revenant, and initially held the first seat of all the pilots in the tourney thanks having the highest favor count(and thus win-loss ratio) of all of them. Despite this initial status and his sound defeat of Supernova in the first round of matches, however, various circumstances culminated in Revenant's performance being hindered in later matches, and due to personal reasons he ultimately dropped out of the Tourney shortly after his Interlude battle against the God of Lust, Swag. Despite his failure to win any of his matches after the first however, it is still worth noting that in nearly all his subsequent Tourney battles, Revenant managed to push his opponents to the brink of defeat, and most, if not all, of the loses he suffered were remarkably close. Following his surrender against Swag, Revenant vanishes for the remainder of the Nil Crisis. Years later he resurfaces in the public space as the creator of the Revelation System and the assistant/successor to the Diviner, Leonard Davidson. Where Revenant was or what he did in the time in-between is known to only a select few individuals, with the general public simply assuming he quietly retired from Mech Combat to dedicate himself to Mech Development full-time. == Personality == == Appearance == == Mech == ===TTG=== {{MechStats | System= Divination | Speed=6 | Melee=8 | Firepower=1 | Armor=2 | Signature=None | Spells= | Spark=Tesla Pulse }} During and leading up the Nil Crisis, Sully used a SMO build focused on disabling opponents from range and then closing in for a kill. He wielded a crimson katana named "Ragnarok" (which was later converted into a massive Chakram) as his primary weapon, though he also used plasma sabers and metallic spheres hidden in various compartments around his mech. His spark, the Tesla Pulse, granted Sully unrivaled control over electromagnetic fields, allowing him to use magnetism in a variety of ways from defending himself from metallic projectiles and physical strikes, enhancing the power of his own strikes by accelerating their velocity to match that of rail gun, enhancing his own mobility through applying similar methods to his own body, or even the creation and firing of powerful electrical bolts. These were all just secondary effects of the Tesla Pulse however, as it's primary purpose was to create a massive EMP which would disable any mech caught in it's path; this effectively left his opponents helpless to stop Solomon's subsequent onslaught of attacks. Combined with his own skill and training as a warrior, the Tesla Pulse allowed Solomon to become the top-ranked fighter during the initial phases of the tourney. == Life == Solomon was born and raised in Pride. His father, David, was a Mech mechanic and the last living descendant of the Ryke, a centuries old warrior clan who had traditionally aligned with the Body Enclave before David's defection to the newly formed Tech Enclave. His mother, Sharai, was a former street urchin who turned Mech fighter. Sharai would abandon both Solomon and David just a few months after his birth, resulting in David's embitterment towards his estranged wife, which he would pass onto Solomon in the years to follow. Sometime shortly after Sharai's flight, David sheltered [[Tesla Ryke|a young girl whom he found wandering within the Anchor boundaries of his shop]]. The girl, having only a numeric code as an identifier, was given the name of "Tesla" by David due to her fascination with electrical phenomena. He would go on to raise Tesla as his own, and she would become a big sister to Solomon as they grew up. As an infant, Solomon was present in the stands during the [[The Pride of Sheep|Coming of Age]] matches held in Pride. As a lad, Solomon was bullied by a gang of older boys belonging to various clans who had long feuded with the Rykes. Tesla, who was at this point both older and stronger than the boys, was adamant about finding and beating each and every one of the gang members. David, however, forbid this course of action, and instead taught Solomon the basics of self-defense. Sully took quickly to the techniques, and would practice them on his own in the hopes of becoming strong enough to bring an end to his torment. He eventually accomplished just that during one fateful encounter, wherein he preemptively broke the gang leader's nose and threatened to do worse to the others if they insisted on fighting him. When Solomon returned home and told his father the news, David chastised him for acting so dishonorably, but also commended his sheer moxie in pulling such a move. David began training Solomon in the art of Mech fighting shortly thereafter, feeling these events had proven he was ready to learn. During his training, Solomon would have encounters with many other youths entering the Mech scene. Among these was a girl named [[Sasha Nevaro|Sasha]], whom Solomon would become fast friends with despite their clans' vastly differently fighting styles and philosophies. Solomon proved to have genuine talent as a Mech pilot, emerging victorious from many of his early matches and beginning to make a name for himself. At this point, confident his son was ready to complete his training, David began to teach Solomon how to harness the Berserker Trance, a powerful rage long passed down throughout the Ryke clan which allowed it's users to gain unstoppable levels of power for a few precious moments at the cost of disintegrating their own Mechs. Solomon found the power of his bloodline difficult to manage, but nevertheless pressed on, hoping to hone his mastery of it in the arena. Sasha agreed to help him with this endeavor, and they engaged in a mock battle wherein Solomon intentionally took as much damage as his Mech could stand before entering the trance. Within the span of mere seconds, he was able to wade through the barrage of Sasha's attacks and deal enough damage to immediately turn the fight around, but disaster struck shortly thereafter. Unable to maintain his control, Solomon quickly lost himself in the rage and continued to batter Sasha's Mech to the point where her Favor Protection was on the verge of collapse and her life put in immediate danger. Tesla, having been present to witness and referee the match, quickly intervened and managed to easily hold Solomon at bay until the Trance ended. == Role == ==== TTG ==== Solomon held the First Seat in the Tournament of the Gods and was, surprisingly, Bear's favored contestant. He defeated Supernova in the first round of the tournament, and later engaged Strider, Silent Requiem, Giant, and the 3rd god Swag in the subsequent rounds. His match against Supernova was his only official victory in the tourney, though his losses against Strider and Giant were close, and he would've easily defeated Silent Requiem had the latter not have cheated and used the Mech Phase technique at the last minute. Solomon's resolve to participate in the tourney was first tested when the 2nd god Seeker sought him out following his battle against Strider. Seeker wished to enlist his help in finding his long missing sister, Tesla, as she believed Tesla would be able to help her locate her estranged Husband. Solomon, having last seen his sister when she left more than a decade prior, was unable to help and Seeker ultimately left unsuccessful, though she thanked him anyway. This conversation would prove to stir up long buried emotions regarding his sister's disappearance, namely the frustration and guilt at his own weakness that day. These emotions slowly but surely began to wear down the cocky, self-assured facade Solomon had built up since that day, and left him significantly unbalanced and distracted during his subsequent battles in the tournament. Even in this compromised state however, he still managed to severely damage and nearly defeat Silent Requiem and Giant, attesting to his genuine skill as a warrior. Shortly before the fourth round of Matches in greed, Solomon was approached by the 1st god Lord and was recruited to help get information out the mysterious being known as Arcturus. The gods had sought out Solomon's help in this matter specifically because of Asmodeus, Solomon's AI servant. Arcturus was notorious for memory wiping anyone who encountered him, and it was hoped that Asmodeus' unique nature as a nueral-integrated AI assistant would allow him to find a way to circumvent the inevitable memory wipe. This theory ultimately proved correct, though Asmodeus suffered heavy corruption and only managed to save the recording he took of the encounter by encrypting it in countless lines of nonsensical code before he was forced into emergency shutdown. Given his partial corruption, Asmodeus was largely absent through the matches in greed as he rebuilt the damaged portions of his own code using information pulled from Solomon's memory. In Asmodeus' absence, Solomon faced off against Slumbering Giant, and without the aid of his old friend felt pressured enough by the battle to call upon a power he had forsaken long ago. Tired of his own lackluster performance, Solomon gave in to the temptation of his Id and once more embraced the Berserker Trance, a technique passed down through the Ryke clan for generations. This series of events would've led to Solomon's death in the Arena had Asmodeus not have restored himself at just the right moment and seized control of the mech away from Solomon, ultimately saving him from being crushed to death as the protection of his Favor finally gave out. With each match Solomon fought after his conversation with Seeker, he came closer and closer to at long last realizing how he'd been lying to himself and those around him as to his motives for fighting. By the time of the Tourney's interlude and the gods revealing the true severity of the Tourney's situation to the competitors, Solomon had come to accept that since his sister's disappearance, he'd just been using mech combat as a means to vent his frustration about lacking the strength to make her stay, which he believes would've saved her from whatever fate befell her in the wilds of Tempest. With this epiphany, the last of Solomon's motivation to continue fighting for sport dwindled to nothing. This ultimately led to him suddenly resigning from the tournament during his interlude battle against the 3rd god, Swag, and his disappearance for several years following the Nil Crisis. ==== TTG 2 ==== '''TBD''' == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 4e2994c887235ad5a72d601e6b48b52df69b7314 431 430 2020-02-24T04:04:27Z Sutoratosu 30579396 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character | name = Solomon "Sully" Ryke | age = 26(TTG)<br>36(TTG 2) | gender = Male | alias = Revenant | names = | sin = Pride | job = Mechanic<br>Mech Fighter (Former) | family = David Ryke (Father)<br>Tesla Ryke (Adopted Sister)<br>Sharai Braixong (Mother)<br>Tamar Braixong (Half-Sister)<br>Sasha Nevaro (Girlfriend)<br>Asmodeus (AI Assistant) }} '''Solomon Ryke''' was among the top 8 mech pilots participating in the Tournament of the Gods held during the Nil Crisis in the Year 32 AD.

By the time of TTG 2, Solomon has become the successor of the Diviner, and serves as the official mechanic for the competitors undergoing the new trial for godhood. Despite this role, he is not allowed to modify the competitor's mechs, as the gods want them to fight their way through the trial using the builds which got them there to begin with. With this restriction in place, the most sully can do is perform mech repairs, diagnostics, and give out various bits of information and advice. == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] db1a24c3099a0b51622c646a7fa29a846f99d181 0 124 432 2020-02-25T04:33:23Z KingMurdoc 30496461 Redirected page to [[Hiroki Yukimura]] wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Hiroki Yukimura]] 5232be319122897d8ae6e83667f7620a513619c9 0 57 433 259 2020-10-11T16:21:33Z KosherKitten 30496449 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Incomplete}} {{Infobox/Character |alias=Watcher |names=Prince of Light, Lucifer, Illuminatus, The One Who Watches, Master of the Spark, Manfred Corringer, Devourer of Light, Devourer of Holiness, Devourer of Warmth, Shiny Bastard, Star Eater, Harbinger of the Red One, Useless Whiny Bitch Baby |age=Unknown |gender=Male |job=Supervillain}} '''Watcher''' was one of the most powerful beings in all of Tempest. Originally one of the four Princes of Magic, Watcher took it upon himself to take the role of a villain. He believed that his power alone would never be enough to protect everything, and that the only way to properly strengthen others was for them to face a seemingly insurmountable foe. His [[Personal Skill|Personal Skills]] is unknown. He appears in [[The Tenth God]], [[The Pride of Sheep]], and some [[Side Stories]] ==Personality== Watcher is an extremely self-destructive person who has been shown to do nothing but cause pain and suffering wherever he goes. Believing it his destiny to always serve as a villain, he attempts to position himself opposite great heroes to influence them to growth. He is willing to go to near any length if he believes it will drive the creation of a hero that will defeat him. There are rare occasions where he shows a glimpse of a caring heart, but those are overshadowed by the destruction, anger, and abuse he sows in his wake. ==Appearance== Watcher is a moderately dark skinned man who appears to be in his late teens. He has curly brown hair and dull blue eyes. He wears a business suit, dress shoes, and gloves, all in a pristine white. ==Magic== {{MechStats | System=Magic | Speed=? | Melee=? | Firepower=? | Armor=? | Signature= | Spells= | Spark=Lightbringer Singularity }} ==Life== Watcher was born in ancient Mesopotamia during the earliest throes of the bronze age. The son of a scribe, he was one of the few privileged to learn the art of reading and writing. Recognized as having great potential, he was taken as the apprentice of the king's court mage, under whom he studied religion, philosophy, and magic. It was during these studies that he unlocked his Spark, which among many other functions, granted him his immortality. He served as the court mage of various kings for several hundred years after, until eventually becoming bored with his position and leaving to travel the world. Watcher's influence became less and less with time as he willfully distanced himself from the world's affairs, until eventually he faded into the background entirely. He would still exist for those who sought him out, but he would never involve himself with anyone for too long. ==Role== ==Relationships== [[Category:Characters]] 1f4d47233cdf8ec919b7b2e8da0af378c8438af0 0 94 434 339 2021-04-17T13:28:28Z KingMurdoc 30496461 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Talva Kirashiki | age = 18 (TFW) | gender = Female | alias = Ice | names = | sin = Pride | job = Mage, stepmom, gay yandere | family = Merlin, Ansuz }} '''Talva Kirashiki''' One of Merlin's former pupils, becoming such after being rescued by Merlin as a child. She focused on Conjuration of her namesake, with high-power offenses and brittle defense. Her [[Personal Skills|Personal Skill]] is Crystallized Mind. == Personality == Ice is quiet and calculating, giving a cold exterior to match her name and magic. Her blunt and pragmatic attitude can make her come off as heartless, although at the very least she has a soft spot for children. She's also very single-minded, becoming virtually unstoppable in her pursuits once she's set her mind to something. To those who aren't frightened away, this can make her an extremely reliable companion. == Appearance == A very small girl at just under 4'11" with blond hair and strikingly blue eyes. Her hair is tied into a simple waist-length braid with loose bangs, and one particularly long strand of hair doesn't ever seem to want to lie down for longer than it stays wetted down. She wears a white blouse with a navy blue skirt, with white ruffles beneath. Overtop it, she wears a black coat cut to be worn over the outfit. Her voice is high, but not particularly so, and usually kept fairly quiet, but it is quite capable of being clear and strong, which one is most likely to hear when she's doing a long incantation. == Magic == {{MechStats | System=Magic | Speed=3 | Melee=6 | Firepower=8 | Armor=0 | Signature=None | Spells=Too many to list | Spark=Overdrive }} == Life == == Role == ===The First Witch=== {{Template:TFW}} == Relationships == [[Category: Characters]] 6de538c0f38b50eb3d99e4ee278bae77d0eadf26 0 46 439 376 2021-04-17T13:40:48Z KingMurdoc 30496461 /* The Tournament */ wikitext text/x-wiki '''The Tenth God''' was the original roleplay that started the series. Set in the alien Planes of [[Tempest]], it enticed players with the concept of fighting one another to earn a place as a ruler of their own chunk of the world. Thanks to a surprisingly beloved mechanical system and an ever-growing story, and in spite of many setbacks and delays, it grew into a complicated universe that was explored in great depth both in and out of character. ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== The event around which the game was originally constructed, the tournament was an effort by the gods to gather fighters that would (hopefully) be capable of dispatching Nil. To entice stronger fighters to enter, they offered up godhood as a prize; the tournament's winner would rule a Plane of their choosing. The final round of the tournament (where the game begins) was done in a round-robin format, pitting each competitor against every other to determine who was the most powerful. Each round was held on a different Plane, with each plane constructing a different arena with unique terrain and challenges. Fights continued until one side surrendered or was clearly unable to continue fighting; attacking a fighter after any of these happened was strictly against the rules and would result in immediate disqualification under normal conditions. It is unknown how the ultimate winner would be determined, as the situation surrounding the tournament rapidly deteriorated until several competitors left it entirely and brought it to an early end. ==Phases== One of the devices that helped TTG flourish early was the phase system, dictating very clearly when the characters were to interact and when they were to fight. It had many flaws and was over-complicated in many areas, but it helped the RP keep up a steady pace in the first few chapters. Portions of it were removed or retooled until it was finally thrown out entirely at the start of Chapter 5. ==Summary== {{RetconWarning}} ===Chapter 1: Sloth=== The game begins with the contestants arriving in Sloth. [[Fukari Adere|Black Idol]] informs them of the proper procedure for an audience before they are introduced to Sleeping Bear, the god of Sloth, who does not seem eager to see them. [[Adam]] introduces himself as the heir to Pride, while [[Solomon Ryke|Revenant]] expresses his disappointment with Bear's apparent laziness. [[Koizumi Kagari|LOLI_HUNTER]], meanwhile, finds it difficult to contain herself around [[Mommo Mikuri|Slumbering Giant]] and another, as-yet-unknown girl, unsettling [[Morgan Belle|Strider]] and [[Yukimura Hiroki|Hellfire Knight]]. Bear states that he won the right to the plane by sleeping, then dismisses the audience. '''Revenant vs. Supernova''' Revenant opens the fight with a silent taunt towards Supernova. Supernova replies by beginning to dash around the arena, building heat by firing bursts of flame at Revenant. The Revenant dodges, then replies with a barrage of ranged electromagnetic slashes. The strikes disrupt several of Supernova's systems, prompting him to launch a direct melee assault by teleporting into melee. Revenant activates his Tesla Orbs to magnetically disrupt the attack by shoving Supernova sideways, then launches into a maddened frenzy, dealing a powerful blow to his opponent while cackling maniacally. The damage causes Supernova's core to begin overloading, massively increasing its heat generation and prompting him to charge the Revenant once again. Revenant's onboard AI, Asmoedus, overrides the control of the crazed pilot and begins taking defensive maneuvers, countering with another barrage of electromagnetic slashes. Supernova's assault continues undeterred until Revenant activates the Tesla Spheres at full power, unveiling two additional ones from the mech's shoulder compartments and charging them with a full EMP. The strike deals massive damage to Supernova's mech, prompting him to surrender in the face of his opponent's overwhelming offense. '''Ricochet vs. Hellfire Knight''' The match begins with neither fighter doing much but evaluating the other, with the Hellfire Knight moving towards a stationary Ricochet. Seeing the opponent's inaction, the Hellfire Knight opens up with a barrage of fire that saturates the arena. Ricochet begins to dodge and counterattack, but his missile and laser attack are both easily defeated by his opponent's defenses. The Knight responds by creating two closing walls of fire, forcing Ricochet to close on her. The Hellfire Knight allows him to get close, then grabs ahold of him and attempts to trap him inside the Hellfire Mantle. Ricochet teleports away to evade the grab, but is then struck and instantly defeated by a combination of the Mantle being unleashed and a followup Giga Flare that filled the arena with an unavoidable wave of plasma. '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Slumbering Giant''' FBI OPEN UP '''Silent Requiem vs. Strider''' Silent Requiem's first move is to taunt Strider and then charge directly at them. Strider counterattacks with a shotgun blast, which grazes Silent Requiem and prompts him to taunt Strider once again as he makes a followup. He nicks Strider with his blades, causing Strider to leap backward and open up with her machine guns. This triggers Silent Requiem's signature move, Alpha Screech, and he taunts Strider once again before activating it. This allows him to land another hit, but Strider figures out how the signature works and adjusts strategy, activating her special ability. Silent Requiem's charge bounces off of Strider as a result of the EAS, while Strider fires again with her shotgun. Silent Requiem, after recovering from the awkward landing, launches himself into the air, crashing down onto Strider and sending her off balance enough to activate his signature once again. He continues his reckless assault, dealing damage to Strider, but Strider then responds with a high-power Revenge Blast, destroying his mech instantly. '''Travel Phase''' After the fights, the contestants boarded a luxury train to travel to the next Plane. Kagari, Hiroki, and Tai all choose to visit the food car. Hiroki shies away from Tai, but is found by Kagari, who says she has discovered her true identity. Tai ignores the two as Kagari continues to harass Hiroki, prompting her to panic in her seat and tumble to the floor, which in turn causes her to inadvertently reveal her appearance and voice. She complains about nobody taking her seriously, which Kagari responds to by declaring her love for Hiroki. Hiroki, while initially suspicious, elects to respond in a moderately friendly fashion. She explains to Kagari her motivation for concealing her opinion after being asked. Kagari passes out, prompting Hiroki to call for help. This succeeds in getting Hiroki to take her back to her room and get her into her bed before she leaves. Black Idol holds a concert during the trip, attended by Adam, Morgan, and Solomon. Solomon and Morgan discuss their respective matches, comparing notes until the concert begins. After her song, Adere tells a story explaining that godhood is acquired by overcoming one's humanity. This irritates Adam and Solomon, who are displeased with learning that it is such a seemingly mundane event. Adere explains the significance of these talents, pointing out that each of the gods is exceptional in their own ways. Lawrence visits the Diviner to make changes to his mech. The Diviner extracts Favor from him, then allows Lawrence to oversee the changes. Lawrence asks the Diviner about the difference between a god and a human, to which the Diviner responds with a cryptic analogy about coal not understanding what diamond experienced to gain its shine. Mommo, having stayed in her room, receives a message from a mysterious stranger despite being between the planes. The stranger expresses their distaste for LOLI_HUNTEr, then asks if she can become like Sleeping Bear if she remains uncertain of herself. Mommo demands to know the sender's identity, and they state that they are Aries, the God of Wrath. Mommo agrees with Aries's assessment despite not fully believing he is telling the truth about his identity. He tells her to walk out of the next audience to receive an item that should help her in the competition, assuring her that it is entirely legal. Tai, meanwhile, heads back to his room to get some rest. After he falls asleep, he also receives a mysterious communication. A girl identifying herself as Cardinal appears in his dreams, asking him to get the gods to call off the tournament, as Nil is too powerful for mortals to face. Tai responds by expressing doubt about his ability to convince them to call the tournament off, instead planning to challenge one of the gods to a fight to prove that one of them should fight Nil. Cardinal says that he has to do it without fighting them and before the end of the tournament, and tells him to ask the Diviner for advice before fading out of his dream. ===Chapter 2: Lust=== The contestants arrive in the God of Lust's hall, where they are assaulted visually and audibly by his greeting. His presence is too overwhelming for most of the contestants to speak meaningfully. Slumbering Giant expresses her distaste, having dressed slightly more than usual, then leaves to take up Aries on his offer. LOLI_HUNTER, meanwhile, elects to dispose of her clothing entirely, seemingly in an effort to get into contact with Swagalicious; this reveals a V-shaped scar on her chest. After everyone makes their best attempt at giving an introduction, Swag informs the group that his predecessor, Future Seeker, became a god by killing herself in battle and surviving using her Spark. He says she made Lust into a prosperous land, then dismisses the group, with a well-hidden sorrowful look in his eyes. Mommo, meanwhile, meets with Sleeping Bear, sent by Aries. He gives her a heart rate stabilizer, explaining that it is a meditation aid. He expresses that he thought he was alone in fighting while meditating, and informs Mommo that one can prevent system disruptions by doing so. He also reveals that his favored combatant in the tournament is Solomon. The arena for Lust is revealed to be a pool dotted with "islands" large enough to hold a single mech, with water deep enough for mechs to fully submerge. '''Silent Requiem vs. Hellfire Knight''' Both contestants attempt to calm themselves and assess the situation as they are dropped into the ring, rather than entering by gates. Hellfire Knight begins by moving backward, hovering over the water. Silent Requiem begins by taunting Hellfire Knight about her stature and the seeming affections of LOLI_HUNTER, to which she responds angrily. Hellfire Knight counters Silent Requiem's initial charging attack by beginning a barrage, then slamming him into the air with a strike from her reinforced main cannon; however, this causes Silent Requiem to fly directly upward. He aims to crash land directly on her while firing machine guns into her thrusters to cripple them, landing a few effective hits through her point defenses. Before he lands, however, Hellfire Knight strikes him with a powerful Giga Flare, the recoil of which pushes her back over solid land. The attack does less damage than it could have, however, as the water cools the melted armor of Silent Requiem before much could be lost. Silent Requiem remains beneath the water for a moment to repair and utilize his Special Ability of maintaining the shape of his armor, but Hellfire Knight continues to attack, firing a beam at him with her main cannon. He dodges, but this sets him on a collision course with one of the islands below the water. Hellfire Knight continues a ranged assault, sweeping a beam in Silent Requiem's direction. He dodges once more by jettisoning the outer layer of his hull and activating his blades to propel himself through the water, taking a moment to ask Hellfire Knight if she can see through the steam caused by her attacks. She tells him to worry about himself, then sets another attack pattern to attempt to catch him as he moves through the steam. They exchange another round of taunts, then Silent Requiem propels himself towards her at full speed. He fails to activate his signature, taking severe damage in the process, then ejects, launching himself at the Hellfire Knight. He phases his hand through her helmet as he resummons his mech, trapping them together and inflicting extreme pain on both as they repeatedly materialize and dematerialize. Hellfire Knight ends this by reflexively throwing Silent Requiem against the interior of his own mech. His gambit having failed, Adam asks the Knight to catch him just before his mech dematerializes. She briefly continues her assault, before stopping just as another mech intervenes to rescue him, appearing to knock him out and injure him in the process. The stranger introduces herself as Blink before telling Hellfire Knight to stop pointing her guns at her unless she wants to fight. Hiroki nearly accepts the challenge, but instead chooses to wait for the route out of the arena after the match ends. '''Supernova vs. Slumbering Giant''' Supernova begins by assessing his opponent in combination with the field, and wishing them good luck. Slumbering Giant thinks little of this, privately commenting on his intelligence before opening with a blast that levels a nearby island. The Giant reveals more of its armaments as Supernova begins to dash around the field, attempting to get behind his opponent. Slumbering Giant replies with a cluster grenade that creates a water screen to conceal a followup energy blast, which Supernova dodges by slamming a nearby island to bounce himself upward. He attacks the Giant in a dive, firing heat blasts and aiming to land a crushing blow. Slumbering Giant fires a panicked barrage that creates another screen of water, which Supernova avoids again by teleporting behind her and unleashing a flurry of superheated blows. A sudden blast disables one hand on Supernova's mech entirely, revealing that the Giant had disconnected one cannon to fire backward. Heavily damaged by the counterattack, Supernova unleashes his signature Nova Strike, flying rapidly at the Slumbering Giant once more. The Giant exhausts its armor to guard against the assault, then replies with her own signature move, slamming into the ground and shaking the arena. Simultaneously, she activates her special ability, ejecting her faster but less heavily armored core to continue the battle. The inner core of the Giant sinks, and Supernova responds by moving away to gather heat once more, staying above the water's surface. Slumbering Giant seemingly gives up, staying underwater for a long period of time as she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and come up with a new plan of attack. Suddenly, a beam erupts from beneath the water, followed by Slumbering Giant, who declares that she is ready for her opponent. Supernova starts the final phase of the fight by superheating a rock and throwing it at Slumbering Giant to test her new abilities. Slumbering Giant, unused to fighting in this mode, dodges by rocketing into the air, then sends another barrage of explosives and gunfire towards Supernova. He responds by firing off another set of fireballs and heating another rock while Slumbering Giant fires another set of grenades. She splits them mid-flight, revealing them to be full of nothing but water, and after the decoys sends another set of real explosives. Supernova dodges this set as well, then tosses his rock, propelling it further with a heat blast and preparing to follow up after it lands. In response, Mommo drops a bomb, pretending to fumble it, before it explodes as a flashbang. As it goes off, she leaves behind another blistering barrage of explosives as she fades into the water once again. He chases her down, but before he can deliver a decisive blow, she deploys more bombs as a deterrent as she flees further down. He resurfaces, and throws another rock in to detonate the bombs. This causes Slumbering Giant to surface in turn, and she begins firing on him with an array of machine guns. Supernova continues to avoid the Giant's fire and closes in, but Slumbering Giant leaps towards him as well, unleashing more machine gun fire as well as two water grenades. Supernova makes a U-turn leading into an uppercut to avoid them, but Slumbering Giant detonates another set of grenades in his face, blowing the other hand of his mech off. Supernova responds by overloading the core of his mech, then firing a relentless barrage of fire at the Giant. The attack disables both of their mechs, with the Slumbering Giant's armament expended and her generator shorting out, while Supernova's mech is similarly missing its primary power source. '''Ricochet vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' Ricochet grapples to an island and opens up with his ranged weapons immediately upon dropping into the arena. LOLI_HUNTER scans the crowd as she drops, then ducks between Ricochet's attacks. She deploys a spear and her bit system, creating a net over the arena. Ricochet attempts to grab ahold of the spear using his grappling hands, which HUNTER responds to by anchoring both her weapon and herself with a set of wires. Ricochet elects to stay at a distance and start shooting down her bits, so LOLI_HUNTER sets them to dodge and then launches herself at him. Ricochet tries to redirect her with his arm chains while continuing to fire at the bits, and HUNTER lands next to him, releasing the spear and drawing a knife to attack with instead. Ricochet dodges into the water, attempting to drag LOLI_HUNTER with him, but she arrests his motion with her cables, retrieves her spear, and drives it into the cockpit of his mech, defeating him instantly. '''Strider vs. Revenant''' The match begins with a flashy display of power by Revenant that strikes the protective barrier as he watches and waits for his enemy to move. Both competitors privately express their unhappiness with the undressed state of the crowd in Lust, before Strider opens up by beginning to move between islands and firing machine guns at Revenant. He dodges, and responds with an arc of electricity that Strider similarly avoids, though more narrowly. Strider's reply comes in the form of a railgun shot, which angers Revenant. He stops it with his electrical abilities, then sends it flying back at its sender. Strider defends with her ability, diverting all power to shielding and crippling her offenses for a moment. Revenant leaps forward, but instead of attacking directly, he sends out a repulsive blast that knocks him back to his initial position and sends Strider into the lake. Strider begins to climb out, but Revenant destroys the pillar with a launched sphere before she can. Strider surfaces after diverting power back to her speed and artillery, firing more machine guns at Revenant. They score several hits despite Revenant's AI doing his best to deflect them, until he takes direct control and blasts the stream of bullets aside before charging at full power. With a roared war cry, he deals a strike to Strider's generator through her defensive preparations. She continues to try to weather the assault, while Revenant continues to unleash a savage flurry of blows, pulling at Strider with his magnetic fields. Strider pours power into her defenses, rapidly shifting her shields to intercept his strikes but continuing to take damage regardless. Revenant makes a heavy attack with Ragnarok, and simultaneously attempts to destroy Strider's power core with one hand. Strider barely defends, then unleashes her Revenge Blast. The attack destroys the Revenant in a single strike, despite detonating the generator on Strider, winning her the match. '''Travel Phase''' As the group boards the train, they note the presence of an extra sleeping car, while Adam is moved on a separate train to get medical attention. Black Idol informs the competitors that they have guests aboard, and Hiroki recognizes Blink boarding the train with them. Morgan, Mommo, and Lawrence go to the food car. All the contestants plan to ignore one another until Mommo eats too quickly and begins to choke. Morgan rescues her, and Lawrence notes the oddly lacking availability of medical staff. After Solomon enters his room, he recieves a visitor: [[Sarah Argyle|Future Seeker]]. She asks him if he knows of [[Tesla Ryke|Tesla]], and if she ever told him about a man named [[Cameron Argyle|Watcher]]. Solomon states that he's heard the name, but not much else. Seeker pleads for Sully to help her find Tesla so she can in turn find Watcher, but Solomon says that she wandered into the void one day saying that she needed to find someone that teleporters couldn't take her to. Seeker asks if he'd ever seen her eating moss from the wilds, which he replies to affirmatively, before realizing that this allowed her to navigate the void of Tempest. He reacts angrily to Asmoedus suggesting that she died doing whatever it was she set off to do, and apologizes to Seeker for it. Seeker confirms that there are individuals that can navigate the Planes. Solomon expresses his desire to help despite his inability, and Seeker thanks him again before leaving. She goes back to her room, and is unexpectedly met by Blink, who says that she walked through the wall to get in. Seeker asks why she's there, and Blink says it's because Seeker was going to cry. Blink eventually coaxes Seeker into admitting why she's upset; that Watcher is gone and not coming back. She breaks down into tears as predicted, and Blink comforts her, saying that it's better for her to admit these things. Tai, meanwhile, heads to the Diviner to fulfill Cardinal's request. He asks the Diviner if he's heard of mental projection, and he informs Tai that it's a work-in-progress tool that displays one's dream space. Tai tells him that Cardinal requested he inquire about it, and asks if he knows of Cardinal or if it's possible to trace back a mental projection from an unknown source. The Diviner states that it should be impossible to do, and that one entering another's dream space is unheard of, except for when twins have been born with a shared dream space. Intrigued, he fetches his mental projection prototype and Tai puts it on. Upon activation, it displays Tai for a moment before it flickers to Cardinal, who expresses excitement at meeting the Diviner. He asks if they known one another, as she uses his name, and she replies in the negative. He asks how she got in there, and she states she has no time to explain before asking if Tai can visit one of the gods on board. Tai says he doesn't know if any are on board. Sully arrives after berating Asmo for a moment, with Tai thinking that the man was nothing like his mech. Solomon expresses confusion at the projection, recalling that communication in the void should be impossible. Cardinal explains that she's being projected from Tai's head, and introduces herself to Sully and the Diviner. She says that there should be two on board, with Adam badly hurt if things were they way they should be. Sully confirms that Seeker is on board, and Tai starts on his way towards her, leaving the car. Solomon begins the process of installing a new system in his mech, and as the Diviner determines that Sully didn't need much help, he returns to his previous work as well. When Tai arrives, he asks Seeker why the gods are so afraid of Nil. She says that if one of them were to be defeated, it would grant Nil legitimacy and possibly their own plane. Cardinal says that whoever they send will die, and the two argue back and forth about the actions of the gods in relation to the contestants. Tai sides with Cardinal, asking if Seeker and the other gods intend to keep throwing expendable contestants at Nil until they succeed. Seeker informs him that they have no time for a second attempt, and that Tai asks them to risk an entire plane to potentially save the contestants. She also reveals a plan to hold exhibition matches between the contestants and the gods to prove the strength of the latter, in which any winners will be treated as having won the tournament entirely and be privy to the formation of a new plan to defeat Nil. Tai questions a winner sending one of the losers to fight Nil, and Seeker reminds him that fighting Nil would remain an option. Tai irritably takes his leave. Meanwhile, only two competitors, Hiroki and Kagari, attend a nervous and exhausted Black Idol's concert. After the song, she expresses her doubts about continuing to perform given the general attitude of the competitors, and Blink suddenly appears to chastise her before abruptly taking her place onstage to tell her story. Hiroki leans over and lets Black Idol know that she still enjoys the show, but both are interrupted and flustered by Kagari asking Black Idol for a rather unusual signature. This prompts Blink to throw a game cartridge at her, to stop her from removing her shirt. ===Chapter 3: Gluttony=== The group of competitors arrives in Ice Griffyn's palace. The place is coated in ice, much to Black Idol's discomfort. Griffyn beelines for LOLI_HUNTER, who he seems to be infatuated with, prompting an irritable Blink to march him back to his seat. The competitors introduce themselves, with the HUNTER once more drawing uncomfortably close to the Hellfire Knight. Once the other competitors complete this, Libra makes an appearance, running into the room in a hurry and unsettling HUNTER; she has replaced the absent Ricochet. Silent Requiem seems perturbed by her appearance, protesting at the gods present, though they ignore him completely. Ice Griffyn states his desire to watch the combatants fight before sending them off. '''Supernova vs. Libra''' The bout begins with a greeting from Supernova to Libra, which is reciprocated in kind. Supernova boosts into the air, circling the arena and watching for Libra’s first move. Temperance strains to get Libra moving, but her onboard AI bids her caution due to the icy surface of the battlefield; instead, Libra remains still, letting Supernova make the first move. Tai does just that; after building up some heat, he recognizes that Libra is waiting on him; rather than giving her what she wants, though, he launches low damage, but very hot, fireballs at her wheels, in an attempt to melt the ice under that and force her to move or else be stuck. While Libra’s AI recommends against rising to the bait - the ice is so thick that it would take ages to sink to a troublesome level - Temperance has become impatient; the wheels unlock, and after some slipping and sliding and false starts, Libra barrels towards her foe. Supernova waits for her to close, and then punches the ground to propel himself into the air. He lands a heavy blow on Libra’s right arm as he falls, but Libra rolls with the punch and turns around, allowing Supernova’s own momentum to slam him into the ground, and manages to fall on top of him - a solid pin, but not a sustainable one as Supernova’s fire shield starts to melt through the armor. Supernova gets a telepathic message from Cardinal - he has to be very careful with Temperance, and above all, remain calm. Supernova brushes her off - things are going fine. As he increases the heat of his shield, he warps above Libra to break the pin, a flurry of heavy blows punching into Libra and pushing it down into the small pit that had been created by ice melting from the shield, starting to melt armor and deal significant damage. Tai grows confident as he pummels her, without her apparently fighting back - Cardinal warns Tai that there’s a reason he’s feeling confident: Temperance feeds on the emotions of the crowd and her opponents, exchanging confidence for excitement, turning it into favor to use as a weapon. As the armor gives way, Temperance comes out of swinging, a giant hammer smashing into Supernova; he manages to deflect the hit so it’s not an instant critical blow, but he’s still heavily damaged; he retreats into the air, strafing the arena with fireballs while trying to find an opportunity. Unfortunately for him, Temperance isn’t about to let him escape; she launches a piece of her wrecked armor at him and leaps up after it. The piece bounces off the forcefield before being hammered right at Tai, launching Temperance herself against the arena wall. Tai manages to punch the debris into slag, before trying to figure out what his opponent’s actual plan is. This turns out to be using the still-functioning scales of her mech to spin around and launch herself straight at Supernova. He dodges and retaliates with a burst of fire, but it’s weak. Temperance launches another piece of metal at Supernova as Cardinal offers advice: While she’s still crazy strong outside of the mech, she has barely any defenses; a solid hit should be able to blow her away. Tai follows this by getting relatively near Temperance while she’s mid air and unable to dodge, and expands his shield dramatically to catch her in it. She pushes through the damage despite the pain to swing her hammer down at his exposed generator, trying to end the match decisively... And suddenly, time slows. The hammer lands almost gently, and vanishes on the bounce. Temperance’s follow through sends her colliding into Supernova, bouncing off. The hammer reappears, but Temperance is on the ground, angrily demanding to know how Supernova did that, if he’s a traitor. Supernova doesn’t actually know what happened as he lands in front of her to finish the fight. Temperance forefeits, as her hammer is out of reach and she can’t really fight anymore - but she tells Tai that he hasn’t won, because “using Nil is worse than cheating.” Tai is furious at this turn of events, angrily punching the remains of Libra and questioning if his presence is actually the will of the tenth god in an attempt to sabotage the tournament. '''Revenant vs. Silent Requiem''' The Revenant remembers his conversation with Morgan earlier in the tournament while traveling to Lust, regarding her fight with Silent Requiem, as he enters the arena. He doesn’t exactly like fighting someone who’s wounded, but that isn’t going to stop him from putting his all into the battle; he uses his repulsion fields to hover off the ground, to attempt to nullify the disadvantages of the icy ground. Silent Requiem, his hand still in a cast, pushes on anyway, preparing to fight - and spinning in a circle due to forgetting the terrain he’s fighting on. With few other ways to proceed without going out of control, he shoots the ground in front of him to try and break it up and give him a bit more traction, barreling towards Revenant in an attempt to seize the initiative. While a good attempt, Revenant isn’t in a mood to play around and wait for him to come; as Silent Requiem launched into the air to attack, Revenant wound up and threw his circular blade at high speed towards Adam. The younger fighter couldn’t possibly dodge in the air, even with the clear windup, and ate the hit straight on, being launched back across the ice; Silent Requiem’s armor closed around the disc, keeping it in place for use in his counterattack. He launched right back across the ice, rotating in such a way as to use the embedded blade against the Revenant; unfortunately for Silent Requiem though, he forgot that Sully still had control over his blades even at a range; he set the blade to spin and vibrate again, damaging the armor in which it was embedded - however, the armor held long enough for the attack to land, sending both fighters sprawling. Revenant’s arm was heavily damaged by the attack, stripped of armor but still functional (albeit below optimal levels), and his visor was cracked - the damage would have been worse, but his AI had managed a repulse just before impact. Adam was launched out of his seat and his seatbelt snapped, but after recovering his mech wasn’t dramatically more damaged. Cursing himself for his mistake, Revenant makes another move - he draws swords and charges, and just before contact has his sawblade’s spheres erupt with energy, a localized EMP that fries Silent Requiem’s systems from inside… and magnetizes it, as the ball now launches towards the Revenant. Recognizing his mistake with the help of his AI, Sully tries another tactic; he reduces the magnetism of the blade itself, instead focusing all his ability into controlling the blade’s movement. Silent Requiem’s smooth flight path suddenly jerks left, right, everywhere, as the Revenant drags him around the arena by the blade embedded in his armor. Being used like a pinball starts to make Adam desperate, and he hatches another suicidal plan. When the magnetism brought his mech closer to Revenant once more, he dematerialized before he could be bounced, inertia keeping him on the high speed path to Revenant while the sawblade flew off. Just before he was turned to red paste, he rematerialized his mech so that it formed partly inside Revenant. Sully, having had enough of Adam’s shit, compliments him on his bravery/stupidity (he is not sure which), before filling his mech with electricity - but before the shock can reach Adam, uses his Alpha Screech, disrupting Sully long enough for him to force Silent Requiem’s blades open and to bisect the Revenant, leaving Adam the victor, if with some more injuries. '''Strider vs. Slumbering Giant''' Strider tries to calm herself as the contestants enter the icy arena, as the crowd cheers her on. Slumbering Giant is having her own problems, wondering why she's fighting as she recognizes the person that saved her life the previous day. Strider, noting this, calls out to the Giant and asks her to not hold back despite what she'd done. She reacts with confusion, not understanding why Strider was trying to help. Strider explains that she can't take advantage of someone, feeling that she has to do it "the right way." The Giant obliges her request, silently beginning to move and charge her weapons. Strider, pleased with the result, begins to fight herself, dodging to the side and peppering the Giant with gunfire to test her defenses. The bullets bounce harmlessly off the mech's large plating, and she begins to fire at the ground in front of Strider in an attempt to force her to trip or slide into an attack. Strider dodges, then closes the distance to land more hits with her machine guns. Slumbering Giant forces her backward with a barrage of missiles, which Strider shoots down at the cost of leaving herself too far away to strike the Giant again. Strider begins to close the distance once more, prompting a barrage of cluster grenades from Slumbering Giant. Strider exploits this by leaping to the grenades and activating her ability, allowing the explosions to propel her towards Slumbering Giant without doing significant damage. The Giant fires a set of laser blasts at her; she takes the hits, then deactivates her ability and hits the Slumbering Giant with a sliding shotgun blast. The Giant continues to bombard Strider with explosives, causing her to reactivate her ability and put all her focus on defense. Strider takes direct control of her mech systems as this happens, while the Giant continues her relentless assault. A blast from her cannon sends the still-helpless Strider skidding into a wall, where the impact does further damage to the mech. The barrage continues, until Strider has a chance to reassert herself. She deactivates her ability, launches her signature, and cleanly oneshots Slumbering Giant with a Revenge Blast. '''Hellfire Knight vs. LOLI_HUNTER''' As the Hellfire Knight enters the arena, she takes a moment to enjoy that she seems to have actual fans - until such enjoyment is reversed by discovering her opponent is LOLI_HUNTER. Regardless, she begins her standard opening plasma barrage. HUNTER's response is similarly unenthusiastic, as she blocks incoming attacks and dodges with a minimum of effort and without moving from her starting position. Hellfire Knight fires a set of three beams at her in response, prompting LOLI_HUNTER to leap out of the way and at her opponent, swinging a halberd at her torso - then stopping and dropping the weapon. The Knight, confused, stops her own attack and asks what HUNTER is doing. HUNTER's reply is a statement that she's in love with Hellfire Knight. The Knight asks her if she has a reason to fight (realizing that she had no personal goals other than victory), and LOLI_HUNTER expresses that she wanted to mold a plane into her own personal paradise, but that it wasn't worth fighting Hellfire Knight over. Hellfire Knight expresses her lack of desire to fight, and after a moment of seeming pained indecision, LOLI_HUNTER's demeanor changes entirely. Without another word, LOLI_HUNTER leaps at the Hellfire Knight, who is completely unprepared for the attack. HUNTER ducks under her first wild counterattack, planting a dagger in the ground with wires attached and pivoting to Hellfire Knight's opposite side. She uses her momentum to slam her hammer into the Knight, sending her further off balance. Hellfire Knight responds by firing off bursts of plasma from her leg cannons as she attempts to reorient herself, while LOLI_HUNTER releases her bit system and uses them as launch points to maneuver around and leap at the Hellfire Knight for another strike. She counters with a swing from her reinforced cannon, but HUNTER strikes it with her hammer to adjust her trajectory. She lands on the Knight's back and strikes a blow against the armor, prompting her to activate her ability to dislodge LOLI_HUNTER. HUNTER leaps away, abandoning her hammer and drawing a serrated sword, to which the Knight responds with by firing her ability at the HUNTER alongside a massive plasma barrage. Just before the attack hits and knocks her out, the HUNTER offers a wink to the Knight. '''Travel Phase''' Blink visits a distraught Hiroki in her car, stating that the Tenth God has revealed herself. She asks Hiroki to attempt to kill Supernova in their upcoming match, to force Cardinal to reveal herself again. Hiroki expresses her concern for his safety, to which Blink replies with an assurance that she will help if Nil does not. The god then notices that Hiroki has been crying, and tells her that she's been rooting for Hiroki the whole time, before asking her what's wrong. Hiroki explains what had happened with Kagari, and Blink decides to escort her to meet with the woman. The two talk for a moment about Kagari's actions Mommo similarly receives a godly communication, though less direct. Aries sends more messages to her, encouraging her to keep moving past her losses. Mommo expresses that she feels confused, unsure of whether she wants to win, and asks if Aries can show her how the device he'd given her works in person. Aries responds by suggesting that the tournament may not be the best place to earn her desire - the right to rest - and stating that he'll assure that she finds her happy ending. Ram calls Aries a pervert, expressing his doubts about his communications with Mommo, but agrees to go along with it. Cardinal contacts an upset Tai mentally. She hesitantly explains that she didn't want him to get hurt. Tai responds irritably, stating he got to this point by his own strength, and questions why Cardinal has such concern for him. He mentions Temperance's injuries, prompting Cardinal to angrily say that monster deserves no pity. She suggests that Temperance's presence indicates a lack of care for the wellbeing of the competitors, and offers to show Tai her true nature. He accepts, and he heads to her room. As he enters, Temperance begins to react with anger, then something strange happens to the area and she stops, acting as if she's just woken up. Tai offers a respectful handshake, apologizing for her burns, but Temperance replies in a dead monotone, only entwining her fingers with his without moving them further. Tai says that there's something wrong, asking if she'd been overheated somehow, and Temperance simply reiterates that there was a lot of heat. Cardinal explains that Temperance has no soul, and that she had disabled the false one temporarily. Tai reacts with revulsion and horror, questioning if she should even be left alive, and then leaves, going to the food car to settle his nerves. Tai asks Cardinal who she is, referencing her ability to project power through him, to which Cardinal replies by saying she's a normal human and seemingly fleeing the conversation. Meanwhile, an irate Solomon heads to the Diviner's car after a discussion with Asmoedus about the previous match. He enters in the midst of a heated discussion between the Diviner and a woman Sully recognizes as Lord, seemingly about the reckless actions of Adam and their potential causes. They eventually mention a man named Arcturus, and note Sully as their only chance at finding him. Lord explains that Adam has been acting recklessly due to Ice Griffyn ascending to godhood before him, then reveals that he is Tesla's brother. Solomon doesn't believe this initially, noting the obvious dissimilarities in their appearances, unless they were genetically modified somehow. Lord confirms this, then explains the existence of rogue science groups and their experimentation on their own children, Tesla and Adam both being products of this. Morgan then appears in the room, stopping Lord from continuing. Solomon insists that she continue regardless of Morgan's interruptions or apologies, expressing his incredulous horror at learning what the groups had been doing. He realizes that Tesla had been fighting them, and asks how many of the operations existed throughout Tempest. Lord tells him that there are fifteen major organizations and a couple dozen smaller groups, comprising about five thousand people total. She explains the difficulty in tracking them down with the looming threat of the Tenth God, and that they've been working with another group to locate them. Solomon asks for more information about them, and Lord refuses to answer for the moment. She tells him that they need him to help with Arcturus, who tends to delete himself from people's memories, as he could help defeat the Tenth God. Solomon asks how he does what he does, and how it would help them achieve victory if that's his main talent. Lord informs Solomon that Arcturus hiding himself is a recent development, and says that she'll arrange a meeting between them. Meanwhile, Morgan and Mommo have a short conversation before modifying their mechs with the Diviner. After everyone leaves, the Diviner uses a device similar to the one he used on Tai earlier to speak with Cardinal once more. She reacts happily, and he dampens her enthusiasm by saying he's merely considering that she may be right. He continues by saying she is wrong regardless of whether she tells the truth, and Cardinal says she has been wondering about that herself. Leonard tells her that what she is doing will certainly cause a catastrophic imbalance, enraging her into angrily screaming about everyone wanting to stop and work something out now that she's found a way to help herself. She continues more calmly after the Diviner's clear shock, saying that she will not be stopped, even by the Devil. Leonard says he wouldn't try, as he serves his own interest, and then states his belief that a tournament fighter will find a way to match her. This causes her to angrily leave the conversation once more. ===Chapter 4: Greed=== '''Audience Phase''' In Progress '''LOLI_HUNTER vs. Silent Requiem''' Kagari and Adam get into the arena without fanfare, initially standing off from each other. Adam sizes the HUNTER up, but Kagari is simply preparing for the battle. The fight begins with Kagari drawing her sword and lunging, which Silent Requiem catches in his armor, before rotating in an attempt to wrench it away while slicing out with a blade. Kagari pulls away, drawing two more swords before resuming the attack. Adam rolls out of the way and tries to disengage, but Kagari drops her swords and pulls a pair of javelins with cables attached to them, trying to harpoon the mech while her drones laid down suppressing fire. The suppressing fire wasn’t threatening to heavy armor, but the javelins were. Silent Requiem dodged, but the rough terrain blocked his movement too much and one landed. The HUNTER seizes the opportunity, pulling herself in to her opponent with one hand and equipping a pile bunker in the other, putting it to the armor to try and break it at point blank. It shoved right through the armor and out the other side, luckily not hitting anything vital but still a clear threat. Adam abruptly stopped trying to roll away from Kagari and starts moving towards her, trying to either crush her under his bulk or at the least force her to evade. He succeeded, bringing the match to a surprisingly quick end. '''Hellfire Knight vs. Supernova''' In Progress '''Revenant vs. Slumbering Giant''' Still reeling from the disappearance of Asmodeus, Solomon has a chat with what seems to be some kind of manifestation of his inner demons, which urges him to let it out. He starts to consider it as he sizes up the Slumbering Giant. Meanwhile, Mommo gets ready for the fight - the Revenant is a dangerous opponent but not an insurmountable one. The fight begins as the Slumbering Giant opens fire, starting with a large energy blast aimed directly at the Revenant, followed by firing a swarm of missiles to block off escape routes. As “the beast” inside of Sully takes control, the Revenant surges into motion. The energy burst is avoided while a blast of electricity intercepts and detonates the rocket barrage, kicking up a large amount of dust and concealing the mechs from each other. Solomon uses his opponent’s electronic signature to track them through the dust, taking Asmodeus’ usual role while his “beast” and taunts the Slumbering Giant. Mommo, while more than a little freaked out, remains mostly calm; rather than charging forward, she launches a series of mines in a circle around herself, a trap should the Revenant charge forward, and prepares her cannons once again. Unfortunately for the Slumbering Giant, Solomon notices the mines with his sensors - and because they’re metal, he can work with them. The Revenant strafes for a bit, making sure that Mommo really doesn’t know where he is, before lifting up the mines and tossing them back with his mech’s magnetic powers - or would have, if they didn’t detonate immediately when disturbed, both preventing the attack and telling the Slumbering Giant roughly what direction her opponent was in. The return fire misses however, as the Revenant had never stopped moving. It was time to fight seriously - Solomon stops resisting his “beast”, falling into a strange trance that leaves his mind moving a mile a minute. He floods the battlefield with electromagnetism in a tesla pulse at full power, scrambling everything electronic in the vicinity. Mommo remains calm, despite her mech being temporarily disabled, and prepares for what’s coming. The challenge in his opponent sets Solomon off - he appears to activate some strange state enhancing his abilities, but rapidly degrading his mech; he’s got about fifteen seconds to end the fight after he turns it on. He launches himself at the Slumbering Giant, blasting through the terrain with the force of it, with his giant sawblade whirring so fast that the friction sets it on fire. The attack would be a terrible blow, even for the Giant, if it hit; but Mommo didn’t plan to let it. Her minefield detonates, probably hurting the Revenant and more importantly warning her of his approach even with her sensors down. She then aimed her cannon down at the ground and fired. The shockwave is powerful enough to break the Revenant’s charge and set the entire arena shaking, threatening to collapse on itself. Solomon, in his berserk fury, is not shaken, immediately launching himself back at Mommo and using his teleport to rapidly close the gap, blade spinning and coming for blood in a hail-mary blow: it was simple; if he landed the hit, he would win. If the Slumbering Giant survived it or avoided it, she would win. There was no time left on the berserker mode. It lands, rapidly stripping it’s way through layer after layer of armor, down to the core - which, unfortunately for him, was specifically built against just this kind of weapon; as the other layers broke and shattered Mommo blasted away, leaving the Revenant behind to break apart. Luckily for him, Asmodeus returns at last, and takes over the mech at the last second to fling him clear of the cave in. '''Libra vs. Strider''' In Progress ===Interlude: Virtue=== ===Chapter 5: Wrath=== ===Chapter 6: Envy=== ===Chapter 7: Pride=== ===Finale: Nil=== Hiroki is brought to the false plane of Nil, where she meets Cardinal in person. Cardinal confronts her, and Hiroki informs the False God that she cannot win, and that Watcher sent her there with the intention of her defeating Cardinal and becoming a hero to undo his actions. Cardinal refused to back down, attacking Hiroki, and they fought for a time. The False God searched for a future in which she defeated Hiroki during the fight, and found none; out of desperation, she activated her signature ability, and began to strangle Hiroki while the girl - who she outmatched in physical size and power - was helpless outside her mech. Watcher intervenes, throwing Cardinal off of Hiroki and offering her the chance to finish her. Hiroki refuses, instead attempting to convince Cardinal to fight Watcher, as she does not believe she has the ability to oppose Watcher herself. This fails, and Watcher begins to destroy the plane, enraged by Hiroki's refusal to attack either him or Cardinal. This prompts Hiroki to launch herself at him, dealing heavy damage to him physically with her mech before he annihilates her mech's arm with his eventual counterstroke. Seemingly healing from all the damage Hiroki had inflicted upon him, Watcher begins to attack back, first with a destructive lightning attack and then by smashing her through the floor repeatedly. When Hiroki dodges another attack, taking his weapon with her, Watcher informs her that she had wasted her chance to win alongside him, and launches a massive attack at her sufficient to destroy her mech in a single hit. Cardinal intervenes, taking the entirety of the attack into her dream space. Before the attack overwhelms her, she states that she has her own spirit, and that she believes Hiroki does not deserve to die here. After absorbing the attack entirely, Cardinal collapses, leaking Watcher's destructive energy from her body. Hiroki presses her assault again, dropping onto Watcher and aiming a punch at him with her bare left hand, planning to activate her ability on impact. As the punch connects, Hiroki's world goes dark. She hears a voice in her head asking if she is prepared to accept the responsibility of godhood. She replies that she must, and returns to reality. As her fist lands and her ability activates, sending Watcher to the floor charred and burning, the burst of energy purges the darkness of the plane, revealing it to be an infinite tower, with the missing walls now leading to the air outside rather than empty void. Watcher begins to steal Hiroki's power away, and she stumbles forward aiming one last attack at him. Her fist passes through her stolen power, returning enough of it to call the arm of her mech back. It strikes Watcher, staggering him and finally exceeding his ability to absorb damage. Both of them collapse, no longer able to fight. Cardinal, still alive, pronounces that Watcher had become a threat to both himself and the world, declaring that the world had found him guilty and that his punishment was death. She launches a massive beam of energy, annihilating half of Watcher's face and a large portion of his torso. Watcher laughs sadly, remarking on how surprising this world has become. He warns that there is another much more powerful than him, and that they must prepare or lose. As he begins fading away, he tearfully requests that they defend the world, as he could not bear to see it end. His final words are asking that they tell Sarah he loves her.

Set in [[Tempest]], ten years after the Tenth God's ascension, it features a new cast of tournament fighters and many returning faces from both the original and [[The First Witch.]] ==Plot Setup== ==The Tournament== The tournament in Public Void centered around a champion chosen from each Plane. Each Plane had its own unique method of selection, and the selected champions would go on to represent their Plane in the next round of the tournament. Champions were chosen as follows: ===Pride=== Would-be competitors had to have a documented record of high standing in past events. Those that met a certain threshold faced off against Adam, who selected the fighter he thought had the most potential. Although being a resident of Pride was not required, it was required that all tournament standings submitted were from Pride, biasing the process towards those who spent larger portions of their careers there. ===Greed=== Queen held a tournament of his own to select the champion of his realm. Entry into this tournament was completely open, and it was absolutely massive. It was also a single elimination bracket, where one mistake would cost competitors their bid. Short rests were held between matches for mechs to repair at least a little, but overall it ended up being a constant three days of fighting. The entire ordeal was a test to see who could achieve complete domination of their opponents for the longest duration. Only Greed natives were allowed to enter. ===Gluttony=== Gluttony made a huge bid for competitors to participate in a series of small tournaments leading up to a main selection tournament, trying to encourage even the poorest and most outlying participants to join (Ice Gryffin had to use a lot of political influence to get the aristocracy to okay this). The idea was that since a new god hadn’t been found for so long, it must have been that all of the potential gods were those who hadn’t had the opportunity to showcase their abilities yet. These tournaments were held over several months to give ample time for unknowns to find one they could participate in, with those who placed highly even once being given the opportunity to compete in the selection tournament. The selection itself was a double elimination bracket fought in best of threes, all intended to minimize the chance of the best choice being knocked out of the tournament by a stroke of bad luck. Although no rules were set for residency, any well-established competitors from outside of Gluttony were banned from participating, for fear they might dilute the pool too much. ===Wrath=== Wrath’s challenger was selected by the aristocracy, and as such was the result of politics and bickering. They are widely considered to be unworthy of their spot, and are clearly the least skilled off all the tournament competitors. Of course, they are not only a native, but a member of a long-standing dynasty. ===Lust=== Anyone wishing to represent Lust had to go through an hour and a half long interview with a selection committee headed by Swag. A total of ten interviewees were determined to be worthy of the spot. These ten were put through a series of matches with each other, as well as other top fighters in the mech combat scene and the god of Lust himself. In the end, all but one dropped out from the pressure of having to talk to Swag again. ===Sloth=== Bear just picked someone he liked. Sloth’s population isn’t big enough to warrant anything more complicated, and his judgement is widely considered excellent. Obviously they were a resident. ===Envy=== Since Envy already uses a delegative democracy system, and it was simplest to use it to select a champion as well. As such, the Envy champion will be someone who is not only a respected combatant, but also influential enough to convince large numbers of people to support their bid and tenacious enough to campaign for their spot. Being a resident of Envy was not a requirement. ===Hope=== Hope’s representative was chosen by a series of round robin tournaments, followed by an elimination bracket. The round robins were held off-plane due to space constraints. After the elimination bracket, anyone who wanted to dispute their results was allowed to fight the Hellfire Knight to prove they deserved better. It’s rumored that the representative actually managed to defeat the god and earn their place that way, but this is as yet unconfirmed. Due to Hope’s low population (of which all natives are under 10), there were no rules on residency whatsoever. The main portion of the tournament (where the game begins) was done in a round-robin format, pitting each competitor against every other. Each round was held on a different Plane of Virtue, with each Plane having a different, unique arena. Fights continued until one side surrendered or was clearly unable to continue fighting; attacking a fighter after any of these happened was strictly against the rules and would result in immediate disqualification under normal conditions. ==Summary== [[Category:Roleplays]] 9386f29bf41f7bf26b99ac0ca6b91370c21d3c3a 0 126 441 2021-04-24T12:10:00Z KingMurdoc 30496461 Created page with "{{Infobox/Character | name = Tarmo Musashi | age = 28 | gender = Male | alias = Wandering Dragon | names = | sin = Sloth | job = Tournament Fighter | family = Adam, others un..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox/Character | name = Tarmo Musashi | age = 28 | gender = Male | alias = Wandering Dragon | names = | sin = Sloth | job = Tournament Fighter | family = Adam, others unknown }} '''Tarmo Musashi''' is a mech fighter in the second Trial. Representing Sloth, he is a powerful and relentless fighter with a well-established tournament record despite his missing arm. It is currently unknown why Sleeping Bear chose him to represent Sloth specifically. A generally intimidating man at first brush, Tarmo's intensity tends to unsettle those who aren't familiar with him. He His Personal Skill is Eye of the Storm. == Personality == Tarmo is a person of extremes seeking to master them and, if he can’t bring them into balance, then to direct them at something positive. Most notably is his incredible temper; it is startlingly easy to enrage the man (though he’s been working on that.) These rages tend to burn long and hard, and are a primary reason he hasn’t settled down anywhere in particular. They manifest as a destructive and predatory anger that seeks to destroy the offender. Outside of this, he tries to be calm and reasonable, but without anger to distract him he tends to fall into a lonely sort of melancholy. Tarmo is constantly searching for something to occupy his mind, and tends to latch onto subjects or people with occasionally alarming devotion for a time (though for the most part the only person he’s stayed lastingly attached to has been his master, Ookami.) == Appearance == A relatively short man at 5’4” with ragged blonde hair (that seems to be permanently untamable regardless of his best efforts.) His body is lean and scarred, with the most prominent of these being, of course, the one over the stump where his right arm used to be. His eyes are a bright, cold blue, and tend to glow with his Spark’s activation from the flow of Favor. == Mech == {{MechStats | System= Revelation | Speed= 4 | Melee= 7 | Firepower= 2 | Armor= 2 | Spells= Crystallize | Spark= Overcome }} Tarmo’s mech consists of samurai-styled armor that seems to largely be made of dark steel with yellow trim. Conduits for the mech’s electricity (actually a blend of proper electrical energy and a more magical, elemental form) are visible beneath the larger plates, as well as running lengthwise along the shoulders and framing the chestplate. The helmet has a long, white mane flowing from it, and has a pair of horns jutting forward from the helm. The Wandering Dragon’s primary armament is a massive, heavy blade. The weapon is made of a dark, almost glossy metal that gains a color and shine more typical of steel along the leading edge. The center of the blade is jagged, abruptly coming inward about halfway up the weapon (though the entire thing slowly narrows as one gets further towards the tip.) Only the top six inches of the rear of the blade are sharp == Life == Little is known of Tarmo's past before he appeared several years ago after attacking and being maimed by the God of Lust. After this, he found his way to Sloth despite lacking a way to navigate properly, meeting his master, Ookami. In the years between then and the second Trial, he participated in tournaments frequently, originally using a two-bladed style before switching to his current single weapon. He has a past connection to Adam, the details of which have not been discussed onscreen. == Role == '''TTG2''' Tarmo participates in the second Trial, as the representative of Sloth. He tied with Ruby Darter and defeated Midas. [[Category: Characters]] 81ab428f7efc1292611169796b5b028bb5a4e49b
